Peruvian artisan Edmundo Contreras designs this decorative box, inspired by the life work of his mother. The box features reverse-painted glass panels with the image of a noble tortoise, surrounded by the greenery of nature and accented with gold-tone trim. Reverse-painted glass involves a technique where motifs and designs are painted by hand on one side and then flipped over so that the images can be seen through its smooth surface. The box opens at the top to reveal a simple, black interior, making the perfect home accessory for storing small items.
