This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Black & White Ebony (Diospyros embryopteris) with Ziricote (Cordia dodecandra) cap. Black & White Ebony is a wood like no other: The contrast is striking, the wild pattern is even more extravagant. The black streaks are where this wood ebonized, it does not turn all black like some other ebony but creating such eye-catching pattern. The Ziricote cap is also a highly figured wood that require close range admiration to fully appreciate it's beauty. Together, they made a very interesting acorn. I like this one!
A nice box for your valuables. The screw-on cap makes this nature inspired box extra special and ensures that your content is secured, good for jewelry, keepsake... Through the ages, people has given out acorns as a symbol of prosperity and luck. This one is a unique gift.
