Hand Made Decorative Wood Box, "Love"
Embossed brass adorns sleek sese wood curves, masterfully carved by hand. Encircled by parallel lines, this covered bowl holds keepsakes close at hand. Madam Adwoa names her design "Love." She explains, "I want to portray the love that we should have among us, as brothers, sisters, friends and family. Because there is nothing that can compare with love; it has no boundaries."
