Aahil Lacquer Decorative Box

These small Burmese Lacquer containers are skillfully hand made and delicately painted. The tradition of making lacquerware has been handed down through generations with villages being dedicated to the craft. It takes time to apply numerous layers of lacquer to the hand made container. The lacquer had to be dried carefully. The outer colours show the craftsmanship involved. Each piece has its' own unique design. There is an inner "shelf" so to speak that fits into the bottom of the container with the top slipping over that. These make a great gift and can hold that special piece of jewellery.
