This is a pretty acorn shaped box made out of Chinese Pistaschio (Pistacia chinensis) with Tamboti (Spirostachys africanus) cap.  Related to the edible pistaschio ,this Chinese version is popular here as street tree and landscaping tree.  This species has insignificant flower but offers an incredible fall color display, followed by multicolor clusters of tiny fruits when all the leaves have fallen.  I used to live in a house with a tree in the front yard and loved it!  Chinese Pistachio is another interesting wood with a greenish tint and beautiful figure.  The greenish nut goes well with the earthy brown Tamboti cap.

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 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): 7/8" x 1-1/8"
