This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Bocote (Cordia elaeagnoides) with Mun Ebony (Diospyros mun) cap.  From next door Mexico, Bocote is a golden wood with dark streaks and wild pattern.  It is one of a few woods that can exhibit extreme figures.  Couple with the high contrast for the most striking effect.  The wood is heavy, fine grain and is a great for turning.  Mun ebony is also an ebony capable of wild streaky patterns, but the effect is much more subtle.  The dark cap complements the dark streaks of the acorn body in a visually pleasing way.

A nice box for your valuables. The screw-on cap ensures that your content is secured, good for  small jewelry, keepsake... Thought the ages, people has given out acorns as a symbol of prosperity and luck. This one is a unique gift.
