Rare Hand-Sewn Sumatra Ceremonial Wedding Beaded Offering Gift Box

Description

Up for consideration is an absolutely gorgeous and amazing vintage 1950's Sumatran Wedding Box. The box was handwoven rattan that has been hand beaded with beautiful bright and bold seed beads, shells, and what appears to be a type of nut shell. The box has been preserved very well and is in excellent condition. All the beads are still in tact and tightly in place. If you look inside the box you can see all of the hundreds of stitches by hand that this piece underwent just to be completed. To look at the outside of the box it almost seems brand new it has been so well cared for. It isn't until you open it and view the aging of the canvas like fabric and rattan that you realize its true age. Other than normal wear from age, this box is in unbelievable condition. It is a true treasure and heirloom piece to be treasured.
Measurements are as follows:
