This is a raden (mother-of-pearl inlay) calligraphy set. It shows signs of use, with scratches and dirt. Sold as is. No brushes included. Contents may differ from the original, but the photos show everything included. Height: 31.8cm Width: 23.5cm Depth: 7.8cm I received this as a gift, so I don't know how long it was used. Thank you for your understanding.
