LV-5124 Snakewood & Verawood Acorn Box -SCREW CAP

LV-5124 Snakewood & Verawood Acorn Box -SCREW CAP

$ 88.00


This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Snakewood (Piratinera guianensis) with Verawood (Bulnesia sarmientoi) cap. Snakewood is also known as Letter wood, Speckled wood, and Leopard wood. Considered to be the world’s rarest commercially available species and also the hardest timber. It is a lustrous wood with a unique viper-like pattern, hence the name Snakewood.  This piece was made out of a gallery grade stock of the timber, special and beautiful. The greenish verawood cap cap adds contrast and visual interest to the already striking acorn.
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 (unless you wrap your pill). Through the ages, people have given out acorns as a symbol of prosperity and luck. This one is a unique gift.
Dimension (largest diameter x height): 1-3/5" x 2"
