Hand-Tooled Bird-Themed Leather Decorative Box from Peru, "Colonial Reality"
Alex Jesus draws inspiration from the colonial age of Peru, a time when Spanish conquistadores brought many art forms that the locals adopted. This decorative box is handcrafted of mohena wood, elaborated with hand-tooled leather that depicts elegant birds and flowers over the surface. The box opens to a simple interior, perfect for storing small items and accessories.

"pretty little tray"
The tray is attractive and the colours are subtle. It feels good to hold, not too big but large enough to hold half a dozen full glasses or a stack of dinner plates and cutlery. My fingers fit through the holes to carry the tray easily and it feels like the centre of gravity is in the right place for sturdiness. I like it very much.
