This is a pretty acorn shaped box made out of American Holly (Illex opaca) with Interior Live Oak (Quercus wislizenii) cap.  Holly is widely used as ornamental shrub in gardens and parks.  The glossy leaves and bright red fruits are popular Holidays decoration. Holly symbolized truth, and is the official State Tree of Delaware.  The wood of Holly is one of the whitest wood available commefcially.  Capped with a centered live oak so the radial rays distribute themselves all around the cap.  This is one bright acorn!

A nice box for your valuables. The screw-on cap makes this nature inspired box extra special and ensures that your content is secured.  Through the ages, people has given out acorns as a symbol of prosperity and luck. This one is a unique gift.
