This is a small lidded jar made of tsuishu (carved lacquer). It is made by layering red lacquer and carving patterns on the surface, giving it a three-dimensional design overall. Floral patterns are depicted on the body, and the texture and age of tsuishu can be felt from the undulations of the carving and the thickness of the lacquer layers. The balance of the whole, including the lid, is good, and it is a small but impressive piece.
