"Beautiful"
This is such a beautiful box. The Elephant is so real in his world. And the Turtle is a very lifelike also. The box is well made, in fact, I thought I was going to break it trying to get the top off! It fits very well and I am happy to add it to my little box collection.

"Very artistic"
Im a big fan of these hand-carved and painted dolls. I do wish the paintings were different instead of the rabbits being identical, but that doesnt take away from the quality or workmanship.
