Miniature betel box ('thanahka bu'), made of coiled, split bamboo decorated with lacquer in the 'yun' technique. Made in imitation of a betel-box, with a deep cover and two internal trays, it may have been used for holding thanahka. The bright cinnabar red and green design is the 'Chinese cloud-collar' pattern, and not only covers the lid and side of the box, but even appears on the bottom of the box and on the bottom of each of the two little trays.
