Incense box in shape of a chrysanthemum blossom
Red lacquer incense box in the shape of a chrysanthemum blossom. The box has a rounded shape with a flat top and a slightly narrower base. It features a carved design resembling the petals of a chrysanthemum flower on its lid. The surface shows signs of wear and aging, with areas of red lacquer chipped off to reveal a dark base material underneath. The box has a low profile, with the height being relatively small compared to its diameter. It appears to be made of wood or another material that can be carved and lacquered. The background is a plain gray color, which helps to highlight the details of the box. The overall appearance suggests it is an antique or vintage item. The artist of this piece is unknown.
