Dramatic red and gold lacquered wedding box, hand painted with a rising gold phoenix, multiple flowers, decorative panels and foliage. This traditional round container has a lift off top that reveals a mat black interior - lots of storage space. Cross footed base for strength. Purchased in the city of Mandalay, approximately 35-40 years old. A rare find and sizeable piece - a unique item that won't be found anywhere else. Can be used for storage of many household items or purely as a decorative centre piece on a console or table. *A few very minor nicks here and there, otherwise perfect.
