The golden accents are made from high-purity gold, imparting a refined luster and an elegant finish to the design.

Through the delicate interplay of ivory and shadows, the animal features are skillfully sculpted, bringing the design to life with intricate detail.

Compact yet impactful, this box is perfect for storing accessories or treasured items, making it a functional and charming addition to any collection.
