Stunning, though pinker than picture
The pictures of this item make it look like a color intermediate between purple and pink, however in person, under natural light, I would describe it as being redder/pinker and I would probably describe the color scheme as just pink, maybe with hints of purple. The top panel also looks white in natural light. As purple is my favorite color I'm a little bit disappointed in that, and yet despite that, it is really amazing work. Had I known what it would look like in natural light, it's possible that I'd have gone for "Cajamarca Splendor" by the same artists, which is a bold combination of secondary colors including purple. However, regardless, I am very happy that I have one of these cabinets, and this color scheme would have been one of my top two finalists for which one I wanted, regardless. I am very happy to have it; it is such a neat piece, and I am amazed that when you consider how much it would cost to ship this much glass from the Andes, they can offer it at this price.

A beautfiul work of art to be handed down for generations!
I cannot say enough good things about this beautiful and functional work of art. I bought this with a Mother's Day gift certificate from my daughter. I needed a jewelry box. I had bought one at a flea market and brought it home. It had a very negative vibe, so I threw the flea market box and all my jewelry out in the trash because of the negative vibe. When I opened this beautiful work of art from Peru, I was astounded by the beauty. Even though I paid $100 for it, I realized it was worth much more. God bless the artisans that create such beauty. I'm so grateful we can help support their work. And a positive vibe too!

A beautiful Valentines Day gift
I purchased this box as a sweet gift for my 18-year old for Valentines Day. It arrived in plenty of time, and was incredibly beautiful. I was a little apprehensive just because of the medium used, but since I have had such lovely experiences with Novica in the past, I went ahead and purchased it. I had no idea that papier mache could come out so beautifully. The quality of the workmanship was beyond what I was hoping for. It was absolutely meticulously made and packaged beautifully as well. Thanks so much!
