Superb African black lacquered paper mache trinket pot, hand decorated in ethnic artwork. The central image appears to be a presentation. The image is repeated on both sides. The colours are vibrant against the black. It certainly appears to have some age, although difficult to give a definitive, my guess would be around 1900-30.
The lacquer is in good condition, there is a tiny piece of damage as shown pic 6. This is tough to spot amongst all of the colours. The box measures 6cm tall with a diameter of 9cm. The top fits well, a lovely piece of ethnic art.
