[QUOTE="shamster, post: 10322982, member: 85821"]As I promised I would find something interesting in where I live and share it with you, I present this little carved box! It was sold to me as late Qing dynasty but I guess these folk art pieces are hard to date. What’s interesting is that it’s made by hollowing a whole brick of wood. The interior is covered with powder when I received it. Probably make up powder because it doesn’t smell. Now I need to find something to fill it again… I’m not quoting Raver today as I fear this box is too ‘minimalistic’ for his taste:D but if you see this your comments are always welcome! Btw the lid can be fully closed, but it’s super tight so I prefer keeping it this way ;) [ATTACH=full]518844[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518845[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518846[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518847[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518848[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518849[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
