- Beautiful design and iridescent colors of mother of pearl.
- Individually handcrafted with a unique Korean traditional mother of pearl inlay technique that has lasted 1,000 years.
- Size: 4.8"W x 4.8"D x 4.5"H (12.2 x 12.2 x 11.5cm)
This lacquerware jewelry storage box is marked by a luxurious design of fully bloomed arabesque blossoms, rhythmic lines and whorls of the vines, and butterflies hovering over them wrought by the intricate mother of pearl inlaying technique. The use of yellowish mother of pearl pieces to decorate the entire surface of a handicraft has been established as a major feature of the Korean najeon chilgi, or lacquerware inlaid with mother of pearl designs, since the late Joseon (1392-1910) period when it prospered. The phoenix (bonghwang), along with the dragon, is the symbol of an emperor and is believed to herald a time of peace and prosperity.
