hidden compartment box

By Gunadi, this beautiful wood batik jewelry box is crafted by hand in black, and red with cool green leaves. The front, top and sides feature the kawung motif, one of Java's oldest batik designs once reserved for the royal family. Kawung depicts a cross-section of the aren palm fruit as four pointed ovals connected at the center. The cross it forms is believed by some to refer to the universal energy source. Three convenient drawers keep things organized.

Gusti Ngurah Semarajaya is a hardworking artisan from Indonesia, seamlessly combining wood carvings with painting. He designs this jewelry box, which is hand-carved from local jempinis wood. He paints the striking image of Bhoma on its surface, a fierce-looking god that is known as lord of the forest and protector of small villages. The box opens to reveal four small compartments that surround one large compartment, all lined with polyester velvet for storing pieces of jewelry. A convenient mirror is on the inside of the lid.
