Square Sandalwood Curio Box (with 30 curios inside) Ch'ien-lung Reign (1736-1795), Ch'ing Dynasty (1644-1911). When closed, this curio box looks like a plain container. The advantage to this type is that it does not take up much space in storage. Although the outside appears quite simple, it is by no means monotonous. The reason lies in the decorative method of using "panels" by the artisans who made it. asian chinese oriental #asiatique #chinois #Oriental
