Treen Heart Shaped Box Made of Three Woods fine engraving one shorter one taller andA lovely little treen heart shaped box made of three different woods, with a very tight fitting lid lid with carved underside that sits flush and holds tight.

Perfect now for holding or delivering! a rings or other precious little things. 1 5 8" w X 1 13 16" t x 7 8" d and in very good condition, with one small rough spot
