Comment: |
Very detailed woodcarving on this box, which was made as a container for embroidery/sowing material.
One can only wonder how it is possible for a woodcarver to remain calm and dedicated to accomplish such a difficult task to cut all these patterns with the same seize and form. Utter admiration!
Probably made in Kota Gedang near Djokjakarta before the war. |
