Beautifully and intricately carved antique wood box believed to be Camphor wood, the aromatic wood that naturally repels insects, similar to cedar. Probably Chinese Canton, circa 1920-1940. Deep relief carved scenes of Chinese people, possibly in prayer, with one man sitting in position of honor and another presenting or holding a sacred text? Different scenes carved on front, back, top and sides of box, but all similar in content, heads bowed, one person sitting and one person carefully carrying a large book or similar object. Floral and geometric lines detail edges of pictures. Plate of lock missing from of box, but wood candle tray present and inside of box is meticulous. Measures 14" x 7.5" x 7.5". 5 solid wood feet on bottom of box. Beautiful craftsmanship. The perfect size for a jewelry box. Similar pieces found online but these boxes are uniquely distinct by the scenes represented and hand carving. c1930
