The stone is missing and only the lacquer brackets which held it are inside but the inside is covered with gold powder as mentioned by another poster. The outside background which does not show well in photo is mirror black without any powder decorations. I am in PA, USA so I can only show pictures to you. I will post interior shot on Sat as I must leave computer for 2 days.
No marks or seals are present on the container or the suzuribako to identify the maker. I was hoping the script might shed some light on that but figured it would just describe contents as other containers I have seen in the past have been described.
Thank you all for the help. Please post any other thoughts in future.
