Tihong
A square cabinet of carved red lacquer stands on a molded base. Its front panel holds a lobed medallion with two dragons chasing a flaming pearl among clouds, framed by dense scrolling foliage. Brass hardware fixes the lid and side handle.
Look closer: A small brass latch and hinge plate sit at the top edge of the front panel, near the lid.
