Bubinga Jewelry Box: DDL Palimpsest

This box is made of Bubinga, a dense, tropical hardwood and black walnut.  It features a removable sliding drawer, and the box and drawer are lined with burgundy leather.  The top is textured and etched with a gold wash and has an inlaid brass handle.  Apparent beneath the etching are discernible fragments of a poem, thus the palimpsest.
