Item Description

This stately koa keepsake box with a milo finial, stands 6” in height and 2 ¾“ at its widest, was turned from Koke’e koa. Koa, an endemic hard wood, found only in Hawaii is well known beyond our shores. Treasures will be kept safe within and it could also be used as a pet urn.

The heart of the master is felt in every stroke onto the wood.
