Leather Bound Book Style Gift Box - Red

Add an Eastern accent to your home with this Tibetan secret treasure box, designed to look exactly like a book with a hand-painted leather cover. This innovative keepsake box has a strong wooden structure and is bound with leather on both the exterior and interior. The outer 'cover' features a rich crimson background and a scene, intricately hand-painted in shades of gold, orange and hints of green, of children playing, perhaps illustrating the Chinese idiom "duo zi duo fu," meaning "many children, much happiness." In the background a stylized coral is one of the eight "precious objects" of good fortune and longevity from the Ming Dynasty (1644-1911), as coral was thought to bloom only every 100 years. The interior of this secret box is covered with natural toned leather and embellished with delicately rendered Chinese characters and traditional illustrations. The protective lid has the dual functions of disguising the box as a book and ensuring that the contents are protected from dust and sunlight. Use this beautiful Asian treasure box to store your jewelry, stationery, keys or keepsakes, or give it as a special gift to friends and family. Measures 8 inches wide x 7 inches long x 3 inches high.
