Add a touch of exotic elegance and vibrant color to your desk or vanity with this highly ornate vintage hexagonal brush pot (Bitong).
Crafted from rich, dark Huali wood with a stunning natural grain, each of the six panels is meticulously inlaid with Mother-of-Pearl (shell) to form intricate, colorful scenes of potted plants and floral arrangements.
