A box of solid, warm-toned mango wood, its lid finely worked with an openwork tree of life and lined inside with soft red fabric. The tarot and jewellery box gives a worthy home to a deck of cards, favourite pieces of jewellery, or small personal treasures — at once practical and decorative.
The tree of life symbol
The tree of life is an ancient motif found across many cultures: spreading its branches to the sky and its roots into the earth, it stands for life, growth and the connection between generations. In Buddhist tradition it recalls the tree of enlightenment (the Bodhi tree); elsewhere it is known as an image of strength and roots. Light filtering through the openwork pattern of the lid gives a soft, living effect.
Material and finish
Mango wood is a warm, vividly grained, durable hardwood favoured for hand-crafting. The box measures roughly 18 × 12 cm and is lined inside with soft red fabric that protects the contents from scratches. As it is made of natural wood by hand, the grain and shade are unique to each piece.
What it is for
It is ideal for storing tarot or oracle cards, but also serves well as a jewellery box or a keeper of small items — rings, stones, mementoes. It is a lovely ornament for a dresser, an altar corner or a desk.
Care
Wipe with a dry or barely damp cloth. Keep away from prolonged moisture and direct heat so the wood stays beautiful.
