Green and Silver Round Lidded Burmese Lacquer Box with Incised Flowers and Vines ceramic figure on horse Buddhist and Jain mythologyThis wonderful Burmese box is a lovely green with finely detailed flowers and vines incised in silver. (See also its black and gold twin.) I like this one especially for its subtlety and mutability: it feels serene in a white or neutral space, but put it in a room filled with jewel tones and it takes on another life. The lacquer is in excellent condition, with no apparent wear at all to the interior and just slight scratching to the surface. 4. 75"
