Spectacular Incense Box: Hills and River, Gold and Silver Chrysanthemums
-
Description
Incense box in nashiji lacquer with design of a river flowing through highly defined hills covered with chrysanthemums. Several uses of gold lacquer, cut gold and gold sheeting, along with silver, create a dramatic design of exemplary 19th century work. The tiered box has a domed lid, silk sack and a lacquer outer box. Incense boxes are rarer than most boxes, are of a refined sensibility, and are much sought after.
