A ZITAN TALL BOX
18th Century
with deep hinged lid and squared projecting rims at the mouth, the well-matched zitan timber with lustrous dark patina enhanced by fine huangtong (yellow brass) mounts.
6 3⁄4 x 5 1⁄8 x 4 inches (17 x 13 x 10 cm)
The unusually tall and narrow proportions of this box indicate that it was designed and made for a special purpose, perhaps as the case for a pair of seals.
