Olinalá Lacquer Box (M) – Blue Butterfly Design

This handcrafted Olinalá lacquer box is made in Olinalá, Guerrero — a region celebrated for its historic lacquer tradition and detailed hand-painted designs. Artisans use natural pigments and fine brushwork to create vibrant blue butterfly motifs, each one highlighting the delicacy and cultural richness of this iconic craft.

Olinalá lacquer work dates back to pre-Columbian times, when artisans decorated wooden objects with plant-based dyes and intricate patterns. The process still involves preparing local wood, applying natural pigments, and layering designs by hand, resulting in unique pieces filled with heritage and artistry.

This medium-sized box is perfect for jewelry, keepsakes, or as a meaningful decorative accent for any space that appreciates authentic Mexican craftsmanship.
