Portuguese Box In Carved Wood And Bone, 20th Century
Portuguese carved wood and bone box, 20th century.
Small box consisting of a dark wood structure adorned with bone panels decorated with incised geometric and floral motifs. The surface is arranged in rhythmic panels alternating the dark tone of the wood and the natural ivory of the bone.
This type of box revives decorative techniques from the Portuguese colonial period, rediscovered in the first half of the 20th century for the creation of decorative pieces inspired by antiquity. The small size of this object often resulted from artisanal production intended for the local or tourist market, but it retains ethnographic and collector's value.
Dimensions: 14 × 16 × 20 cm
