Olinalá Lacquer Box (M) – Hand-Painted Floral Motifs

This handcrafted Olinalá lacquer box is made in the town of Olinalá, Guerrero — a region celebrated for its centuries-old lacquer tradition. Skilled artisans hand-paint each piece using natural pigments and fine brushwork, creating intricate floral designs that reflect the colors and heritage of the region.

Olinalá lacquer work is a highly specialized craft with origins that trace back to pre-Columbian techniques, where artisans decorated gourds and wooden objects with elaborate patterns. Today, the process still involves preparing local wood, applying natural pigments, and layering detailed motifs by hand.

This medium-sized box is perfect for jewelry, keepsakes, or as a meaningful decorative accent filled with cultural depth and handcrafted beauty.
