Oriental Treen!
« on: October 10, 2007, 09:31:06 PM »
Treen!  I can do that, too!  I inherited some of that from my famous great aunt as well   ;D

This is an interesting .... er .... 'box' for want of a better description.  Perhaps someone can tell me exactly what it is?

The front is carved with a tree and some little figures in robes. If you open it up there is a little ivory figure of a man in robes inside - almost as if he were in a coffin!   :o 

Intriguingly, there is also a piece of folded tissue paper underneath the figure, which I have never removed.  I don't know if it's just padding to make the little man comfy, or if there is something else wrapped in it ???  Perhaps one day I'll take it out and investigate.

I think it's probably Japanese, Sue.  I believe my great aunt did spend some time there, although she lived mainly in Siam (as it was then).

Ahhhh....that's real pretty....

I would be checking the paper underneath just to see....if nothing on it.....then you have just *fluffed* his bed after a few years.... :24: :24: I sure he'd enjoy that too.
