Sanuki Carved Lacquerware Square Tray

This is an antique Sanuki-style carved four-sided tray, one of the traditional wood carvings with colored lacquer from Kagawa Prefecture.
The wood, with its aged luster from repeated wiping with lacquer, and the rough, powerful chisel marks create a piece with a deep, rustic charm.
There are some scratches and stains from age, but no significant defects such as cracks.
