A small carved box in mango wood, 9 cm long and sitting comfortably in the palm of the hand. The warm, honey-toned grain of the wood shows through the carving, giving each piece its own quiet character.
What you'll notice
The mango wood has a natural warmth to it, tones of amber and caramel that deepen slightly with handling over time.
The carved surface gives the box a tactile quality; running a thumb across it, you feel the relief of the pattern rather than a flat printed finish.
At 100 g, it is light enough to move easily but solid enough to feel considered in the hand.
The proportions, 9 cm by 5 cm, and 4 cm tall, make it a compact presence on a bedside table or shelf without taking up much space.
Mango wood, carved in India
Mango wood is a by-product of the fruit industry: trees are felled once they stop bearing fruit, so the timber is used rather than wasted. It is a dense, close-grained hardwood with a naturally varied figure, no two pieces look quite the same. This box is made in India, where hand-carving in wood has been a domestic craft tradition for generations.
Placement and care
Keep it away from prolonged damp or direct heat, which can cause the wood to warp or crack over time. Wipe with a dry or very slightly damp cloth.

A considered gift

Common questions
Is the carving done by hand or by machine?
The verified facts describe this as handcrafted and hand-carved, so the decoration is worked by hand rather than machine-routed.
Will the wood grain vary between boxes?
Yes. Mango wood has a naturally varied figure, so the exact tone and grain pattern will differ slightly from piece to piece, that is part of what makes each one individual.
