Box with cover

This box is glazed with a bluish white, crackled glaze. The outer wall has a decoration of a band of classic scroll motifs in thread-relief. The cover has a moulded decoration of a Buddhist swastika motif in the centre within two concentric rings, encircled by classic scroll motifs. In India, Buddhist and Hindus traditionally used the swastika as a good luck symbol while in China and Japan it has been used to represent abundance, prosperity and long life.
