Heartfelt Handmade Walnut (?) Box with Relief Carved Heart and Fat Dovetail Joints alebrijes armadillo Another week another early 19thA lovely, honest and earnest heartfelt, one might say! old handmade box with hinged lid, juicy fat dovetail joints, and a relief carved heart at center. Hardwood, I believe the wood is walnut, but I'm terrible identifying woods. Not a fussy thing about it, but one has the sense it was very much a labor of love, and I'll always say yes to a box with a hand carved heart! 9 5 8" x 5 3 8" x 4 1 8" t. Key long gone, so it does not lock. Very good
