Description

Oval- shaped jewelry box made from bent wood; at one side, the ends of the wood overlap and have been held together by a natural cord. Two vertical posts with notches cut into them have been fitted over either edge of the box and held in place with wooden dowels. The outer sides have been decorated with a geometric pattern consisting of relief-carved circles, carved crosses, and concentric diamond shapes made from holes poked into the wood.
