Cherubim Box

So named because of the four terra cotta depictions of the 'Cherubin of Ezekial' that grace each corner of the box (angel, eagle, lion and bull).

I had moulds at one time and incorporated these moulded earthenware designs on some of the boxes. The chord that binds the box also passes through the terra cotta heads and holds them firmly in place. This box has unusually long legs which give it a certain elegance. The legs and frame that suspends the enclosure are of silky oak, the body of silver birch and the lid of red gum.

There is no catch on this box, the lid simply lifts off.
