This decorative box from the 1950s, crafted in China, embodies the artistry of mid-century Asian handicrafts. The design takes the shape of a rabbit, with a body woven from tightly plaited wicker finished in a warm, blond-brown hue with subtle reddish undertones and a satin sheen. Anatomical details—paws, tail, and distinct upright ears—are carved from wood in a lighter honey tone and softly polished, providing visual and tactile contrast to the woven texture. The lid ingeniously follows the rabbit's 'collar' line, edged by a smooth wooden band fixed with tiny brass nails, seamlessly merging structure with a decorative accent. The facial features and silhouette—eye, muzzle, the posture of the paws—combine stylized realism with a touch of naive folk art. The proportions are measured and the transitions between materials smooth, emphasizing both technical skill and an intuitive sense of form. The piece is preserved in very good condition, with no visible breaks, chips, or significant wear; only a light patina and minor traces of use attest to its careful handling and age. This compact container evokes the atmosphere of postwar China, an era marked by renewed appreciation for artisanal tradition and understated daily rituals. The
