In British Columbia, the First Nations Peoples used unique, and beautifully adorned traditional containers to store our most precious of possessions.

These containers are commonly known as “Bentwood Boxes”. Aside from their decor, one of the aspects distinguishing the Bentwood Box from other wooden boxes lies in its construction. 

The body of the container is constructed using only a single piece of West Coast cedar and decorated with abalone shell!

 

Available in 2 Sizes:

Baby - 3" x 3" x 2" H

Small - 5" x 5" x 4" H

(Due to nature of wood, your box could be lighter / darker than shown)
