Money box

Project by Marian Neagu posted 125 days ago 455 views 0 times favorited 14 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I made this money box as a gift for a friend who perform the christening for her baby. She is romanian, but married in Belgium. The box is Romania map, and the woodburning represent our ancestors (yes, Dracula too), and on the back, I compose a small poem where the first letter of every lyric represent the name of the baby.
Is made from lime tree, finished with varnish.
