Can you tell what the composition of the box is?

My first impression is New Zealand....   Sure looks like a Kiwi on the top panel!

Agree that it is of an Asian origin....but that is a kiwi - only found in New Zealand and the other birds as well!  From the "Laugh In" era using Arnie Johnson's word...."Very Interesting"!

I have brushed it hard,and it sure looks like new ;D
yesterday i went to antique shop,they said that he thinks,its from chinese or japab,because there are birds like this,but he wasnt sure.
I really like to know the year of this box and value.
Maybe it isnt worth anything?
