Cherished item

Bought this item for myself and it is more beautiful in person. The inside is lined in velvet if you wish to store something. Great detail in the painting and carving. Love the elephant on the top. Great workmanship.

Extremely delicate paintwork

Product picture

I really like these lacquer boxes for their unusal shape (square, oval and round being the norm) and the intrincate and minute brushwork of the painting. It is delicate and minimal at the same time to cumpliment modern and minimalist interiors.
