This beautifully aged box dates to the mid-19th century and is comprised of finely woven bamboo and layer upon layer of black and red lacquer. The round box has a sculptural, tapered form, crafted with high shoulders, a constrained neck and a short footed base. Cutouts to the thick lacquer finish reveal the box's intricate woven construction, simulating inset panels. Cinnabar-red lacquer trims the edges and decorates the round lid with an abstract floral design.
