The Chinese had discovered as early as the Shang dynasty (c. 1600–1046) that the juice of the lac tree (Rhus vernicifera), a naturally occurring polymer, could be used for forming hard but lightweight vessels when built up in very thin layers through the repeated dipping of a core of carved wood. They used this technique to create art like this for centuries after.
This trinket box is a cylinder shape, measuring 2.5" inches tall and 3" inches across the top of the lid.
