For
thousands of years in China, the family of a young bride was expected
to give a dowry of gifts and money to the family of the groom. These
elegant hand painted wooden boxes are a reproduction of a traditional
dowry box that was once used by the bride to carry such gifts. The
red color symbolizes the joy of marriage, and the gold etching symbolizes
the young couple's hope for future wealth. This quality replica is
handmade by artists in China.
