Hand crafted bamboo container from Talang Kemuning, a small village in Sumatra.

 

A local artisan spun this bamboo and stained it with black lacquer for longevity. Twelve-sided. Spire on lid. Very good condition.

 

Not a tourist piece but a functional piece of art!     Circa mid- to late-1900’s.  16” tall with lid on x 14” at widest
