Lacquered leather, known as shippi, was produced by first wrapping softened cow or deer skin around a mold and then painting the resulting vessel with lacquer. This technique was popular during the Nara Period, but rarely used after the mid-Heian Period. The extant mirror box depicts Karyou-Binga (Sk: Kalavinka), originally a mythical bird of the Buddhist Paradise with a beautiful woman-like face and a melodious voice. Along with the bird motif are pictorial representations of Buddha and imaginary Buddhist flowers.
