A handcrafted Buddhist storage box
The Extra Large Box - Buddha and Bodhi Tree is a generously sized wooden box, designed to hold spiritual items, jewellery, crystals and other small treasures. The Buddha and Bodhi tree motif on the lid carries the warmth of the Buddhist and Tibetan craft tradition, and the piece is finished in a natural matt tone that feels at home on a shelf, an altar or a quiet sideboard.
Materials and craftsmanship
The box is made of solid wood and finished by hand. Small variations in the grain and in the painted detail are part of the character of the piece — each box is, in effect, a one-off, even within the same design. The Buddha and Bodhi tree carving on the lid is the visual centrepiece and shows the careful, patient work of the artisans who made it.
Suggested uses
Use the box to store loose crystals, sage bundles, palo santo sticks, incense sticks, prayer beads or anything else you would like to keep tidy and dust-free. It also works well as a jewellery box on a dressing table, or as a small altar surface in itself when placed on a shelf. The compartment is roomy, so you can store quite a few items inside.
Care and placement
Place the box on a stable surface, away from damp and direct sunlight, both of which can affect the painted finish over time. Wipe occasionally with a soft, dry cloth to keep the surface bright. Avoid soaking or harsh chemical cleaners — a gentle wipe is all that is needed.
Origin
The box is made in China by craftspeople who specialise in Buddhist and Tibetan decorative items. The combination of natural wood and traditional decoration gives the piece a substantial, considered feel that has nothing in common with mass-produced storage.
