DescriptionThis hand-painted wooden box features a rectangular shape with a hinged lid and decorative floral motifs. The top of the box is adorned with a bold central design—an acorn flanked by foliage, radiating outward with stylized brushwork in black, red, and yellow. A border of painted red flowers frames the central image, with similar floral accents continuing along the sides. The box’s base is painted in a muted tan and the inside is empty with a silver lining around the edges.
