Each one is made by hand, so no two are identical — the grain, the colour, and the character of the wood vary from piece to piece. I'll reach out after your order to make sure you get exactly what you're after.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese have been used as display pieces, storage for herbs and medicines, dice boxes, and as Viking ash urns.
