Willow Tree sculpted hand-painted keepsake box 3" square — bas-relief lid, interior 'Truly a friend' sentiment

Willow Tree True Keepsake Box is a hand-painted, bas-relief resin trinket box that holds small mementos and features an interior sentiment reading "Truly a friend."

This sculpted keepsake box is crafted from resin using an original hand-carved model by artist Susan Lordi and finished with delicate hand-painting. The lid displays a low-relief carving of a seated figure in a cream dress playing with a yellow dog, while the removable lid fits a 3" square box sized for jewelry, notes, or small treasures. Packaged in a fitted gift box and supplied with an enclosure card, it’s designed for gifting and shelf display.
