Floral Fantasy Hand Crafted Wood Decorative Box

A dazzling array of diminutive flowers blooms in splendid abandon on sleek black lacquer. It showcases Nantana Sompamitre's art. She carves wood into the desired shape and coats it with lacquer. Once dried it is polished, and another coat is applied – up to twenty times – before as many six coats of pure lacquer are present. The final layer is polished with powdered fired clay. The piece is painted by hand, and brass rings protect the openings.
