A lid that speaks volumes
The lid of the box features a finely embossed lotus flower – a beloved symbol of Indian hand-craft. The aluminium sheet is flexible yet strong: your fingertips can feel the contours of the petals, and the light shimmers softly across it. The wooden body keeps the contrast of colours and materials warm, giving you an object you will enjoy looking at every time you take it down from the shelf.
The message of the lotus
In Indian and Buddhist culture the lotus is a symbol of transformation from darkness to light: a pure flower unfolding from the depths of muddy water. Many people choose this motif simply because it is a beautiful reminder of how we gradually emerge from difficult times. You do not need to look for a religious meaning in it – it is a lovely plant symbol that may quietly speak to you as well.
A practical inner space
The 18 × 13 cm interior surface and the 6 cm height are enough to comfortably store a classic 78-card tarot deck. In the 6 cm depth even two thinner decks may fit, or a deck combined with small crystal pieces, earrings or little notes. The soft felt lining protects the contents from scratches – an especially good choice for keeping delicate paper cards safe.
Small details that matter
4 small rubber feet at the bottom keep the box stable on the table, preventing it from sliding and from scratching the tabletop. The lid lifts upwards, with the closing fitting smoothly. Weighing 511 g, you feel the quality of the material as soon as you pick it up, yet it is not heavy when travelling. In your home it looks good on a bedside table, a shelf, the upper level of a bookcase or as part of a meditation corner.
How to maintain its condition over time
The metal lid should not be exposed to standing water for long, so the fine contours and the shine remain. Against dust and fingerprints a soft dry cloth, or a slightly damp one, is enough. The felt lining can be easily dusted with a soft brush. If the rubber feet loosen over time, they can be reattached with small pieces of double-sided tape at any moment.
