About this product

What you'll notice in the crab design
  • The crab shape gives it a bright beach-house character without feeling childish.
  • Carved grooves pick out the claws, legs and shell, adding shadow and depth to the warm wood.
  • The puzzle opening makes a small ritual of hiding a ring, folded note or tiny gift.
  • It looks good left out, so the box feels like décor rather than storage to tuck away.
  • The natural grain runs across the body, giving each visible surface a softer, organic feel.
Saman and Sheesham wood, shaped with character

Made from Saman wood and Sheesham wood, the box has the rich brown tone and visible grain you would expect from natural timber. The crab outline is irregular by design, with carved detailing across the front rather than a plain rectangular case.

Opening, hiding and keeping

This is a puzzle-style decorative box. The different wooden pieces need to be pulled apart in the right order before the small central compartment is revealed.

Use it for a keepsake you want to make a little more special: a small piece of jewellery, a note, a charm, or a tiny surprise. It is a novelty hiding place, not a security box.

Care for the wood

Keep it dry and wipe with a soft cloth when needed. If the pieces feel stiff, handle them gently rather than forcing the mechanism.

A playful puzzle-box tradition

This box follows the idea of Indian wooden puzzles, where the pleasure is in discovering the order of movement rather than simply lifting a lid. The crab shape gives that puzzle tradition a coastal twist, turning the act of opening into a small moment of curiosity. It belongs to the Bali Magic Boxes range and is made in Indonesia.
