The interior of the box with a sandalwood lining and secondary cover with a silver handle, chased with foliate designs. In Korean Shamanism, sandalwood is considered the Tree of Life.

During the Joseon period, boxes such as the present lot were used by wealthy gentlemen as storage containers for tobacco, which has been grown and smoked in Korea since the early seventeenth century, when it was introduced from Japan. Such boxes are typically decorated with auspicious motifs, while the present lot is considerably rarer in that it depicts four mythical (or at least distinctively mythologized) animals, each depicted in East Asian art since antiquity: the dragon, deer, turtle, and crane.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related silver-inlaid iron tobacco box, 10.2 cm wide, dated to the Joseon dynasty, in the Victoria & Albert Museum, accession number 1842-1888.
