The lid is dominated by a high-relief carving of a sinuous imperial dragon weaving through a dense landscape of stylized lingzhi (ruyi) clouds. The dragon is depicted with intricate scales and a dynamic, coiled posture, symbolizing power and good fortune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box features a \"four-lobed\" or quatrefoil shape, often referred to as a begonia shape in Chinese art. Deeply undercut relief showing the dragon’s head turned toward its tail, surrounded by undulating cloud scrolls. The vertical walls are decorated with a continuous band of repeating scrollwork and small floral rosettes, providing a rhythmic, textured finish. The piece emulates classic turi lacquerware, where dozens of layers of lacquer are applied and then carved. The interior is finished in a smooth, matte black lacquer, providing a clean functional space for storing small treasures or incense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall aesthetic balances the ferocity of the mythical beast with the soft, organic curves of the box's silhouette, making it a highly tactile and visual centerpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e( not for food storage or serving)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 6\" x 5.25\" x h2.75\"\u003cbr\u003eOrigin:            China\u003cbr\u003eMaterial:     Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eCondition:  handmade, rustic vintage finish, distressed marks, may have minor chip corners\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUSA domestic continental buyers of 48 states pay $18.95 shipping (buyers of Hawaii, Alaska, US Islands, Florida Keywest, and Canada pay the extra shipping cost).
