This is a reproduction of a classical Chinese suitcase. This beautiful piece is made of wood and faux leather, using an old traditional Chinese technique; the leather is wrapped around the wood and bound tightly so that the skin is smooth and perfectly formed to the piece. Brassy fittings adorn the corners, and elegant handles complete the exterior. Inside the case opens up to reveal the board, the pieces fit into individual slots underneath the board making it a complete all-in-one unit.
The Board itself also has gold Dragons and Phoenix on it, really completing the Oriental feel! The lid of the case is painted with beautiful and traditional Chinese paintings of a Dragon and Phoenix flying on one side, the other has peacocks. In Chinese culture, these represent Strength and happiness, and beauty. The case has been treated to help preserve the paintings and the exterior.
