Description
Beautiful shallow lacquer ware box with delicate mother of pearl inlay design.
Note: In the center of the circle, the double-happiness symbol喜喜 (双喜) used in marriage ceremonies is here creatively made into a single character in the lower half. Outside of the circle are two phoenixes. The phoenix symbolizes female (yin 阴) energy, and is normally paired with a dragon, a symbol of male (yang 阳) energy. But here we have two phoenixes.
Size: 2 1/2 x 13 x 7 in.
