Lacquered Box with Tortoise Shell and Pearl Inlay
Black Lacquered Box with Dragon of Tortoise Shell and Mother-of-Pearl Inlay and brass hardware and brass wire with a silk-lined interior. This dragon that winds its way all around the box is exquisitely rendered and captures the loose and innocent quality of Korean dragons that art lovers adore in Korean paintings and ceramics, but does so in a medium that does not easily lend itself to such qualities, so this is really a finely accomplished work of art and a rare, museum quality piece. 12 x 12 x 7.5 inches, 30 x 30 x 19 cm.
