Subject:Help Identify Silk Embroidered Box w/ Calligraphy
Posted By: Thomas Sun, Sep 04, 2016 IP: 71.92.244.13 Hello and thank you ahead of time. A recent impulse buy at a California antique shop because the price was so right. It is a wooden box with an open top, similar to a planter, covered in green silk on the outside with a circular embroidery picture on each side (butterflies on two, flowers on the other two). The inside is covered with a brown paper material with calligraphy characters. Any help identifying its purpose and era is appreciated. |
