An informative tag (supplied) states;
"The American Indian medicine bag
was always carried by the medicine man. The Medicine Man was the next most
important member of the tribe after the chief, he was responsible for the
healing of the sick and injured, predicting the future and driving away evil
spirits.
Each of the contents of the bag has a
specific purpose and their meaning is symbolised by the charm. The cloth was
used as a symbol of healing, the stones characterize strength-the type of stone
selected was based on both the type of the illness and the position of the
member within the tribe, the turquoise blue is the traditional stone of the
indian. the stick was used to drive away the evil spirits, the seeds symbolize
the seeds of life and were used for fertility, growth and longevity.
The feather is the symbol of free spirit.
With the right mix, the medicine man
could not only achieve miraculous healing, but could also bring about an
important balance and harmony in life.
Try selecting the
right mix to bring a balance to your life.
Other
charms may be added to achieve the ultimate harmony"

Beautifully crafted Secret lock, key-less boxes
An Excellent Gift!
Very well made by by Aspiration in
India, these boxes can only be opened by those who know the secret (an
easily-removed sticker explains how). The hinges and lock fittings are
both in brass. Hinges are discretely positioned at the back, and the lock
fittings are internal and out of sight
New stock just arrived - Our secret boxes
are in stock and ready for immediate despatch
These high quality boxes are lovingly made and beautifully finished. The
wood used is sustainably-sourced sheesham wood from India.
Shesham wood is part of the rosewood family. It is durable and fast-growing, reaching maturity in 15-20 years (compared to 80-90 years for hardwoods like teak, and 7-10 years for soft woods).
These make excellent gifts for men or women. The natural but simple beauty
of the wood shines through. They are great for keeping valuable little
bits and bobs safely and tidily out of the way
The rich grain of the wood will always vary from one box to the next, so no two
boxes will be exactly the same. This uniqueness enhances the beauty of
each piece.
