A compact box of mango wood, its lid finished with careful carving and set with a polished amethyst inlay. A discreet yet expressive keeping place for jewellery, tarot cards or other personal odds and ends – equally at home on a dressing table, a bedside table or in a reading corner.
The symbol and amethyst
The carved motif forms two radiant palms: the laying-on-of-hands symbol, an ancient image of care, intention and touch, linked to the return of well-being and inner balance. The tradition of laying on of hands lives on today in Reiki and other forms of energy work. The amethyst inlay, in deep violet, is regarded in tradition as a stone of calm and clarity.
Finish and care
The warm, lively grain of mango wood makes every piece unique, while the stone adds a delicate touch of colour to the lid. It measures about 18 × 13 cm. Care for the wood with a dry or barely damp cloth and protect it from prolonged moisture; the polished stone is a natural mineral, so its shade varies slightly from piece to piece.
