Box

Physical description

A small dark brown-black finished wood box with a rectangular shape. The lid (part b) slides vertically off of the top of the box (part a). The box has intricate geometric triangular patterns. The lid is carved with a human figure (tiki) that has an elaborate headdress, a pair of two long grooves slanting diagonally downward toward the short angular nose, circular shell eyes, a compressed heart-shaped mouth opening to show the tongue, spirals on the shoulders, geometric patterns on the body, and three-fingered hands resting under the belly.
