AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Offered is a unique set of 2 Batik medicine boxes from Indonesia, manufactured in the 20th century.

A particularly beautiful set of two handmade Batik medicine boxes from the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. Both boxes were crafted in the 20th century and showcase the traditional craftsmanship for which the region is known.

Cylindrical containers are richly decorated with classical engraved and batik motifs, each topped with a beautifully carved animal figure: a frog and a bird. The contrasting wood tones and finely crafted details give the pieces a warm, authentic appearance.

These boxes are in good condition and have a beautiful patina, fitting their age and handmade character.
Attention! A pot has a crack along its entire length, see detail photos. It is not disturbing if placed in a way that makes it not visible.

Ideal for collectors of Indonesian ethnographics, decorative art, or unique handicraft objects.

Dimensions (per piece):
Height: 24.5 cm
Width: 7 cm
Length: 7 cm

An exceptionally beautiful duo that is rarely offered as a set.

This lot is well packed and shipped worldwide via PostNL through Catawiki's shipping service.
