"Cherished item"
Bought this item for myself and it is more beautiful in person. The inside is lined in velvet if you wish to store something. Great detail in the painting and carving. Love the elephant on the top. Great workmanship.

"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.

"Gifted"
I gave it as a gift to my Acupuncturist. She loved it so much that she gave it a separate special place of its own so patients can see it as they come into the office. First day she received compliments on how unique and beautiful it was. Great carving job to Gusti Ngurah Semarajaya! Thank you.
