My Dad was with the Flying Tigers in China during WWII. He brought this jewelry box back for my Mom which is why I assume it is Chinese. It is carved everywhere with a dragon prominent on the top and also on all four sides. I think it is teak but I am not sure. I was thinking maybe it was carved by one of the local Chinese for sale to the military men.
