Details

Leaning on a log, a flirty elephant boasts colorful floral attire. Nantana Sompamitre crafts a whimsical pencil holder. She carves rain tree wood into the desired shape and coats it with lacquer. Once dried it is polished, and another coat is applied – up to twenty times – before as many six coats of pure lacquer are present. The final layer is polished with powdered fired clay. The piece is painted by hand, and brass rings protect the openings.

Pretty”

The bpx is well made and a nice addition to my collection. Only wish the green wasmore prominent like the photo shows. The green is a bit subdued.

Small treasures for small treasures”

These three lacquered wood fish boxes are very small so may not be practical for many though if someone loves fish they can be a great symbol. The boxes open for storage of very small items.
