I purchased this beautiful treasure box as a special gift for a dear friend. It came perfectly wrapped and packaged, had cards enclosed explaining the history of the process involved in creating the piece, a lovely thank you card AND it got to me in the time promised. It doesn't look like the picture because the picture doesn't do it justice to the beauty and craftmanship of the treasure that it is! I say treasure because, whomever your purchasing this for, yourself or someone special, you will be getting a treasure that is a keepsake! I absolutely love this wonderful piece, thank you!!
