Description

Doves of Peace Folk Art Keepsake Box — Hand-Carved Doves & Leaf Design

Evoking the warmth of traditional craftsmanship, this beautifully hand-carved wooden box features intricate folk art designs on all sides — including a striking image of two stylized doves in flight, a motif long associated with peace, renewal, and the biblical story of Noah’s Ark. The birds appear to be carrying or sheltering a form reminiscent of the Ark itself, echoing centuries of storytelling through woodcarving. The box exemplifies rustic artistry with its scalloped borders, leaf motifs, and domed lid. Each incision bears the mark of hand tools, lending the piece an earthy, soulful character. 

Condition
Good condition with age-appropriate wear to the wood surface. The box remains sturdy, with sound joinery and functioning hinges. Minor surface marks and small age cracks consistent with its handmade nature and vintage age.

Overall: 6 1/2" H × 11 3/4" W × 7" D
