handmade box

Inspired by the lovely hummingbirds that transform Costa Rica's landscapes into majestic spaces, the Herrera Perlaza Family Artisans work with teak wood and glass pieces to create this exquisite decorative box embellished with the region's vibrant aura. The accessory, made with a sturdy structure, displays a cute mosaic at the front, depicting a hummingbird in intense hues.

Thai artisan Waraporn Khamsuk bases this creative puzzle on the famous Thai legend of Khun-Phan, who was imprisoned under the watch of nine guards. In the game, Khun-Phan is represented by the large square with the white dot, and each of his guards is represented by a small piece marked with a red or yellow dot. The goal of the game is to help Khun-Phan escape through the opening on one end of the box without removing any of the guards from the board. Handcrafted out of rain tree wood, the game comes with nine variations that have different degrees of difficulty.
