Help identifying antique box |
Posted By: Tim Posted Date: Jul 22, 2015 (04:54 AM) |
Message The design of deers by trees & rocks is a rebus for long life, often referred to as the 'hundred deer' motif, although your box shows far less than that many deer. I've seen your type of lacquer box with a mixture of soapstone and/or bone carvings several times over the years. I believe they are from the mid 20th c. Post a Response |
