This is a natural, rustic keepsake box handcrafted from driftwood reclaimed from the shores of the Potomac River in Quantico, Va, with a stylized triquetra Celtic knot hand wood burned into the lid. It’s a beautiful little piece of nature for your tiny hidden treasure!
The triquetra Celtic knot is an ancient symbol used in pre-Christian Northern Europe and subsequently by Christians as a symbol of the Trinity. This triquetra was drawn and burned by hand into the lid of the keepsake box.
The driftwood is light with dark stripes. The top was given a light coat of 100% pure tung oil, bringing out the yellow and water stains in the driftwood. The inside, bottom and sides are 100% natural and untreated. The inner chamber remains rusticly rough. A simple pine dowel hinge allows the top to swivel 360 degrees, revealing the keepsake chamber.Â
This listing is for the ring box pictured. The base measures about 2 1/8″ in circumference. The piece is just more than an inch in height. The chamber diameter is 1 3/8″, and the depth is just less than 1/2″. It will make the perfect box for a marriage proposal, ring bearer, or keepsake box for your special item.
Please note, this keepsake box is made for small items only! The ring in the photographs (not included) is size 8. Please measure your keepsake to ensure it will fit prior to ordering.
