LV-5116  Manzanita  & Betelnut Acorn Pendant Box,Bag Charm, Keychain-SCREW CAP

LV-5116 Manzanita & Betelnut Acorn Pendant Box,Bag Charm, Keychain-SCREW CAP

$ 58.00


This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Manzanita (Arctostaphylos manzanita) with Betelnut (Areca catechu) cap.  Manzanita is a beautiful shrub with contorted, red bark branches that grows on the foot hills of California.  The wood is exceptionally fine grain but notoriously difficult to dry without checks or splits.  One of my favorite wood out of almost 1000 species I have collected.  The cap has the interesting pattern of the betelnut.  This one was made in the pointy shape of Coast Live Oak acorn, abundant here in the Bay Area.  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. 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 1-3/8"
