Though many people know the biblical story of the legendary gifts of the Magi, told in the Gospel according to Matthew, few have experienced the extraordinary scent of frankincense and myrrh. These fragrant resins, used by ancient Greeks and Romans for medicinal and religious purposes, can be enjoyed on your evening fire or as incense. Our set of three mango-wood chests also contains the third gift of the Magi: gold. Here, delicate flakes of 23-karat gold are presented in a handblown glass ball. Comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Frankincense is from Boswellia sacra trees in the Dofar region of Oman. Myrrh is from Commiphora trees found throughout the Arabian Peninsula. The chests are crafted in India.

The set is well made and very beautiful. The only problem I have is that the round box doesnt have a latch like the others: the lid just balances atop the box. That makes it easy to tip over and spill. One visitor tried to pick it up and the top fell off and the box spilled on the carpet!

The Gifts of the Magi set which I ordered this Fall, holds a place of honor in our home during the Christmas Season...but I display it the rest of the year, as well. It is important to remember the Spirit of Giving all year long.

Lover of chimes and have many hanging on porch and patio, but these are unique in design and color and sturdy in thickness. Cant wait to hang them outside once our weather turns warmer so I can hear their sounds for first time. Noticed colors are a bit darker than pastel hues seen online, but I am sure will appear lighter with sun shining through them. Beautiful creation, dont hesitate to buy.
