Carved Cinnabar Box - Love Birds - The rich burnt-red color of traditional cinnabar evokes images of the treasured artifacts and cinnabar boxes that once graced the chambers of China’s Forbidden City. Originally, cinnabar was a pigment that was mined from iron ore quarries in Europe and Africa. Today, modern cinnabar is a safe reproduction of the famous red pigment that was once used to adorn the Emperor’s vases, frames and intricately carved furniture. Our cinnabar boxes are available in an assortment of beautiful – yet functional – everyday cinnabar curio boxes. Carved Cinnabar Box with Chinese Love Birds is 1.50" x 1.25. |
