Dated to the early 20th-century, this petite box was woven of thin bamboo strips and finished with a putty-like substance known as thayo, comprised of black lacquer and sawdust. The box is formed with a continuous weave that bends to a square form, reinforced by wooden rods on the lid. Used for general storage of small items, the humble box is a work of art in itself and a beautiful example of a traditional craft.
