Box in Form of Lotus Leaf (lid)
A pale ivory dish carved to resemble a lotus leaf, its irregular lobed rim curving up around a shallow, pleated center. A raised lotus leaf and bud sit off-center, with fine carved veins and a glossy surface catching light.
Look closer: Fine carved veins radiate across the lotus leaf, and the rim has small notched lobes.
