    16. Huanghuali Cylindrical Box and Cover

    Qing dynasty, 17th - 18th century
    Diameter: 10.1cm
    Height: 9.0cm

    The beauty of this box lies in its simplicity of form – a pleasing cylindrical shape - without any embellishment or even beaded or moulded edges. The craftsman has allowed the strikingly grained huanghuali to take centre stage. The sides feature dramatic striations, ‘ghost faces’ and curving patterns resembling mountains while the concentric, radiating rings of the wood are centred on the cover.
