Bamboo Rattan Box (Thailand) |
|
| |
Typical of the Lisu people from Northern Thailand, this rustic bamboo box is perfect for holding change, jewelry or other keepsakes. It also makes for a great decorative piece in a living room. The rounded shape adds a nice touch and allows for easy opening and closing. This box involves a number of intricate steps to make. It begins with finding the right style of bamboo, drying it, then shaping and smoothing it. At the same time, the Lisu women spend numerous days drying out the rattan and flattening it so that it can be woven to provide a nicely finished look. The handcrafted nature of this product will produce minor differences in design and sizing. Subtle variations will occur from piece to piece, adding to its unique qualities. Measurements may vary slightly.
