Trinket Box Iolani Woods Royal Hawaiian Hand Carved Hawaii Carvings Tiki Vintage

This exquisite trinket box is a vintage piece of art that showcases the craftsmanship of Hawaiian culture. Handmade by skilled artisans from Iolani Woods, this box features intricate carvings of tiki and other Hawaiian symbols. Its provenance is unknown, adding to the mystery that surrounds this unique item. Made in the United States and reflecting the Hawaiian culture, this trinket box is a charming collectible that would be a valuable addition to any collection. I believe this was purchased in Hawaii in the 70s by a service man who was stationed there during WWII and returned for a visit. I found a photo of him and a string of Ni'ihua beads with this little box. I am not certain of this, but based on the photo and other items found, that's my guess. Beautiful little box. Good vintage condition. However, the finish has significant crazing. The wood is lovely, but the very thick shellac (?) has crazed lines. See photo of the bottom where the crazing is the most noticeable.
