What the image shows

A red leather case with gold embellishments and a central lion emblem.

Generated by LinkedCulture from the photograph alone, without the museum’s catalogue text (Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct), and not yet reviewed by a person. It describes the picture, not the object’s history, and it is not part of the museum’s record.

From the Cleveland Museum of Art record

This lacquer box was created by the Lukutin Factory, which was well known for creating boxes such as this one after Piotr Lukutin took charge of production and expanded the factory to include tea caddies and various desk accessories. This particular box from the Lukutin workshop is remarkable in its detailed gold patterns and diamond inlays that create an intentional contrast with the deep red surface. Piotr Lukutin’s workshop employed over 50 skilled painters as well as acted as a school for training apprentices.
