Circa late 19th century.
Height 13 cm. Diameter: 21cm.

This betel box is decorated with red, green, yellow, orange and black lacquer. It shows various probably court scenes – a king seated with his ministers.
A Burmese lion and foliage run along the perimeter. There is finely-rendered Burmese script. Most probably these include the brand name of the maker and also the place of manufacture, probably Pagan.

There were probably internal trays but they are missing. There is wear to the lacquer, but otherwise, the box is in good condition for its age.
