This is a reliquary box with an ancient mystical quality and a modern edge; a receptacle for keeping old treasures.

In almost every part of the world, the dragonfly  symbolizes change, transformation, adaptability, and self-realization. The change that is often referred to has its source in mental and emotional maturity and understanding the deeper meaning of life. ... The dragonfly is iridescent both on its wings and body.

This dragonfly is composed of iridescent cellophane and appears to be floating inside the lid. Tiny glass balls roll within the lid and below the dragonfly lies Chinese Prayer Paper and mother of pearl creating a shimmering background.  The stamping on the copper varies with each box. Velvet lined.

 An heirloom quality handcrafted box made from reclaimed copper, cut, stamped, patinaed and adorned with four pale blue glass beads.

Measures 6" x 5" x 1.5" deep
