A HUANGHUALI LOTUS POD FORM INCENSE BOX
17th-18th Century
with steeply rounded thick ribbed sides, the cover realistically modelled with moveable seeds.
Diameter 2 1⁄2 inches (6.4 cm)
The symbolism of the lotus flower and the tight-fitting cover make this box both suitable and practical for incense powder.
It is rare to see this form of box made of huanghuali rather than zitan.
