The material is Taga-yasan (African Padauk), a type of wood, and it is a barrel-shaped incense case. The size is 4 centimeters square and about 7 centimeters high. Taga-yasan is a very hard wood, but this piece is made very thinly and delicately. The artist's name is Kosai Nakamura. The original selling price was 19,000 yen. It has been stored in a warehouse for about 20 years at my parents' home, which deals in tea ceremony utensils, so the box, wrapping paper, etc. have deteriorated, but it is a new, unused item.
