This rustic container was made over a hundred years ago to measure and hold a dou of rice, a traditional Chinese unit of volume. Hand-crafted of pine, the wooden basket has a square form with tapered sides, a gently arched handle, and traces of the original dark lacquer finish.
The joinery is strengthened by fantastic iron reinforcements, trimmed in iron along the rim and handle and densely patterned with corner staples like the scales of a dragon. The wooden vessel is richly weathered from years of use, marked with imperfections and now-faded painted characters.
