This is an attractive
box designed to be the center of attention. The corners are guarded
by four dragons, whereas another dragon walks on the box. The
fretwork is delicately designed and visually rich. The box doesn't
need any hinge, the corner of the cover encases accurately in
the heads of the four dragons. This fretworked box is one of the
most beautiful ones I have ever seen. It is a masterpiece of the old
Italian school of fretwork designers.
The
box is designed to be made preferably with 1/4 inches wood or with 6
mm wood, but of course it can be resized at will to fit any wood
thickness. The following table gives the measures of the box depending on the
wood width you use:
