Antique Shan Burmese Lacquer Kun-It Betel Box, c. 1880s, 11" Tall amber stone The bodies of most appear

The bodies of most appear to be made of old tool handles

useful as paper weights or just sitting around

I think these are just about the most charming little rabbits I can imagine

Antique Shan Burmese Lacquer Kun-It Betel Box, c. 1880s, 11" Tall amber stone The bodies of most appearI'll never pass by an antique Burmese lacquer betel box if I can afford it which increasingly I can't, as these fine older ones have become quite precious. I lucked out on this one though, and another I am listing simultaneously, both from the same estate both are very large, and really beautiful. I especially love the banded decoration and strong use of black on this one, against which the deep orange cinnabar color really pops. Cylindrical boxes
