Miniature Inro

A tiny one section inro in gold and silver mokumegane metal and silver studs. The metal technique is known as mokumegane, a Japanese metalworking procedure that created a mixed-metal laminate of distinctive layered patterns. The word mokumegane closely translates to “wood grain metal” as the laminated layers closely resemble wood grain.
