Carved Box with Hinged Lid and Latch
Ira Blount · 1988
This carved box is remarkable for its wooden construction, which includes a functional wood swivel latch and hinges. Utilizing wood and varnish, artist and craftsman Ira Blount (1918-2020) realizes his philosophy on resourcefulness. A glossy coating highlights the wood’s natural grain and showcases minor variations in color.
