Provincial Wooden Box with Bone Chopstick Handles

Offered by: PAGODA RED

Description
A narrow wooden box with a sliding lid and a pair of carved bone chopstick handles with contrasting dark inlay at the ends. The bone handles were likely originally affixed to chopsticks of wood or metal, the latter suggesting they would have been used for moving hot coals in a hibachi or hand-warmer.
