Indian Black Lacquer Pot Size:Medium A brush used for ChineseLacquer boxes are used for storing jewellery or bindi (the red powder that Indian ladies apply to the forehead). Lacquering is done by the craftsman on a hand powered lathe. The wooden pot is spun and a lac stick is pressed against the pot.
