Handcrafted in Southern Poland's mysterious Tatra Mountains, this box is a unique Polish box. Farmers and shepherds settled into the Tatra region of the Carpathian Mountains called Podhale toward the end of the first millennium AD. During the winter months as their fields lay under snow, the farmers spent their days woodworking. Every member of the family participated in the decoration of these fine boxes. Most local art cooperatives were members of Cepelia, the national arts and crafts institution, which set up very stringent controls and standards on craft production and completely monopolized trade in crafts. This policy resulted in strict, meticulous production of very high quality, non-commercialized handmade products. Wood burning and inlays were added as decoration techniques. Colored stains added a new dimension to the designs and varnishes were applied to protect the decorated surfaces. The Secret Opening Compass Rose Cartography Box is a one of a kind storage box for your trinkets, keepsakes, jewelry, or memorabilia. The box is made of Linden wood, is reinforced with feather joints, and the base of the interior is lined with red velvet to protect your personal treasures. The top of the box is decorated with a Celtic Knot design that has been burned into the wood by hand.
