Lacquerware Wood and Papier Mache Box from India, "Persian Delight"

Mohammad Hussain Baba pays tribute to the beauty of Persian rugs with his decorative wood box. The Indian artisan hand carves the box from weeping willow wood and a layer of papier mache before hand painting the surface with a pink floral pattern. Inside, a polyester velvet lining cushions your trinkets, while the outside is coated in a glossy lacquer for shine and protection.
