“Gye Nyame Power”

Lovely box. Lid works, though open /close is tight at the hinge. Hope it will loosen with use and not wear on sides in that region too much.

“A beautiful box.”

This is a beautiful box, well designed and well made. The ebony is wonderfully dark and gives it a very satisfying weight when you hold it. I find myself smiling whenver I look at it.
