Crafted from wadang wood, this exquisite red decorative box comes from Java. A floral batik motif is applied to the lid of each of the four compartments to create the stunning design. Artisan Gunadi presents the lovely piece of decor.

Javanese Memory is decorated in a floral batik manner, and is predominately a subtle red with a simple design of rows of 4-petal flowers along each side. There are also special batik flowers on the lids of the four separate compartments of the box. I really love having the four compartments with the lovely lids. I love the way Gunadi shaped, designed, and used batik to decorate this beautiful box! P.S. I also have his Scarlet Scrolls box - it is beautiful too! I thank him for his extra special work.

This is a really unique and lovely box. I love how the four pieces together make a shape. I keep one nice bracelet in each of the four compartments. This is a nice big size with intricate artistry.

Appreciate this artists craftsmanship, but I was hoping and expecting to receive the mask as shown and detailed in the product photograph. While the features and colors are similar, there are visual differences that I noticed immediately. The lighter areas of the face as shown in the photo are a tannish color and not white, which provides a poorer background for the figures painted in those areas. Secondly, the two black scrolled extended end features (top right side and bottom left side) in the photo are only painted to simulate a scroll and not round shaped. Third, the bright red colors are a maroon which mutes the masks visual presentation. Lastly, the top middle stem with yellow leaves is not flared-out as wide. While are I understand that each mask is hand-made and there will be variations, I did not expect to receive that many. I still am satisfied with this purchase, but hopefully, the artist will accept my feedback as constructive criticism of the mask I did receive.
