Asian Lacquer Mother of Pearl Inlay Box

This mid-century Asian lacquer box features a detailed mother of pearl inlay depicting a tropical coastal scene with palm trees and stilt houses. A figure in a traditional sampan boat navigates the water in the foreground, set against a black lacquer ground. The rectangular box is constructed with a hinged lid and rests on four small brass-tone feet.
