Bone Casket "Night Owl" with Brass Fittings

Bone Casket "Night Owl" with Brass Fittings

A True Gem of Craftsmanship

This casket is not just an ordinary box. Its structure consists of carefully processed segments of ethically sourced bovine bone. The lid features a curved shape reminiscent of ancient treasure chests and is decorated with fretwork techniques in floral and geometric motifs. The dark background beneath the pierced layer creates a beautiful contrast and highlights the texture of the bone.

The overall look is accentuated by brass accessories:

• Decorative strips with pressed ornaments lining the edges of the lid.
• Delicate brass "beading" separating the individual sections of the lid.
• Solid brass hinges and a front hasp.

An interesting detail is the latch itself. The hasp is stylized into a motif resembling an owl – the symbol of wisdom and the guardian of the night. Your property will thus be under constant surveillance.

Safety for Your Keepsakes

While the exterior gives a rugged historical impression, your jewelry awaits maximum comfort inside. The entire interior, as well as the bottom of the box, is lined with purple velvet. This lining protects stored items from scratches, dampens impacts, and gives the open casket a luxurious look.

Historical Window

Bone carving has a tradition in human history dating back to prehistoric times. In the Middle Ages and early modern period, bone caskets and reliquaries were highly prized goods. Craftsmen were able to carve incredibly fine lace-like patterns from this hard material. Such caskets often served ladies for storing jewelry, needles, and threads, or merchants for their most valuable coins. With this replica, you hold a piece of this old craft tradition in your hands.

How to Care for Your Bone Casket

To keep this beautiful piece looking like new for years, you need to care for it properly. Bone is a natural material that continues to react to its environment.

• Never wash in a dishwasher or soak in water for a long time. Use only a slightly damp cloth for cleaning.
• Do not expose the casket to extreme temperatures (e.g., near a fireplace, on a heater) or direct sunlight, as the bone could crack.
• Occasionally, you can polish the bone parts with a small amount of mineral oil to prevent the material from drying out and to maintain its sheen.
• Do not store liquids or food inside that could stain the velvet lining.

Note: Since this is a handcrafted product made from natural material, the grain of the bone, the shade of the stain, and minor details may vary from piece to piece. Each casket is unique.
