Description

Carving mango wood into spheres, Nantana Sompamitre creates a pair of delightful boxes. A violet motif adorns their smooth, lacquered surfaces. Sompamitre carves the desired shape and coats it with lacquer. Once dried it is polished, and another coat is applied, up to twenty times, before as many six coats of pure lacquer are present. The final layer is polished with powdered fired clay. Then the motifs are etched with a technique called lai kad (dug-out pattern) and painted.
