Might be my friend's favorite birthday gift!

Product picture

My good friend turned 40 and I gave her this box as a gift. At the party she received lots of very cool gifts, but when she opened this, everyone commented on how special it was. My friend kept picking it up throughout the evening. She really loved it!

Cherished item

Bought this item for myself and it is more beautiful in person. The inside is lined in velvet if you wish to store something. Great detail in the painting and carving. Love the elephant on the top. Great workmanship.

A very unique gift

I was looking for a unique gift to give to a family member when I saw this soapstone box. It was perfect. It was actually larger than I expected, and the carving was beautifully done.
