EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print captures a stunning Box made during the Konbaung period, dating back to 1800-1855. Crafted from luxurious materials such as gold, diamonds, emeralds, and rubies, this box is a true masterpiece fit for royalty or high-ranking members of the court. The intricate design on the sides features a wave (acheik) pattern, adding to its regal charm.
The top of the box showcases the protective 'nine planet' (narawat) design, with eight dazzling diamonds surrounding a large ruby at its center. This symbol of wealth and power was likely created in Burma, specifically in either Amarapura or Ava (now Inwa), former capital cities known for their opulent craftsmanship.
Every detail of this box speaks to the grandeur and sophistication of the Konbaung period, reflecting the artistic prowess and lavish lifestyle of that era. From its elaborate decorations to its precious gemstones adorning every surface, this piece is a testament to Burmese artistry at its finest.
Owning such a treasure would have been a privilege reserved for only the elite few who held positions of authority and prestige within society. This print serves as a window into history, allowing us to marvel at the beauty and opulence that once graced royal courts during this remarkable period in time.
