This is a small acorn shaped box made out of Hawaiian Holly (Ilex anomala) with Betelnut (Areca catechu) cap. The wood of Holly is one of the whitest, with very fine grain for a smooth finish. This Holly species is a rare one with subtle greenish tint. Capped with a netty parterned betelnut for contrast.
A nice box for your valuables. The screw-on cap makes this nature inspired box extra special and ensures that your content is secured. It is ready to dangle off your keychain, bag zipper, belt with the removable lobster claw. The nut is small enough to be worn as a pendant (without the claw). Good for small daily pills, keepsake...Not recommended for long term storage of emergency pill, since I don't know how air/water tight the closure is. Through the ages, people has given out acorns as a symbol of prosperity and luck. This one is a unique gift.
Dimension (largest diameter x height): 1" x 1-1/2"
