This inro is decorated with horses of various coat colors. Horses with beautiful coats were often depicted in art as prized possessions. An inro is a small, usually tiered box used for holding seals, medicine and other small objects. It served as an ornamental accessory for men, worn suspended from the belt by a cord.
