Burmese food container

Fine old Burmese lacquer box with a sieve insert lid, this piece is most likely from the Shan State and was used as a food receptacle, as the small holes would keep the bugs out.

Made of thick hand-hewn teak, this 19th century kitchen cabinet from East Java has two sets of doors that swing open on wooden peg hinges.
