A small rectangular box finished in black lacquer, featuring a hand-painted landscape scene on the lid. The decoration depicts a small pagoda-style structure nestled amongst stylised, swirling green mountains, accented with fine gold-line highlights. The piece is likely constructed from papier-mâché. Indistinct marks are visible in the lower-left corner of the painting, although they are not clearly legible. This item is characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century East Asian lacquerware, often produced for the export market as part of nesting sets.
Length: approximately 10 cm.
