Lidded box in the shape of a rose
Description
The lidded jar has the shape of a blooming cultivated rose. The green sepals are formed into feet. The lid joint is cleverly hidden between the petals. Lifting the lid is somewhat awkward: functionality has been set aside in favor of illusionistic effect.
