Description

Long wooden box that held 16813B ( banner ). On inside cover of box is a label that reads, "From G.T. Marsh & Co. Japanese Art Repository, 625 Market Street, Under Palace Hotel San Francisco". From this label comes the possibility that this box was not originally meant to hold the Korean banner. The box lid has kanji characters on it.
