Leela Horn & Bone Boxes

The Leela Boxes are two lidded rectangular forms — one large, one small — each surface covered in a hand-etched geometric inlay of horn and bone. The diamond pattern runs continuously across every face, including the lids, with warm deep brown horn set against off-white bone. The etching within each horn piece gives the surface a shallow relief that reads differently at close range than from across a room.

Stacked on a desk or low shelf, the boxes settle into the surface around them. A stack of books beside, a small object on top — the inlay pattern holds its own without competing with what surrounds it. The larger box beneath, the smaller above. That proportion is part of the object.

• Material Ethically sourced horn and bone with MDF wood base
• Color Palette Warm brown horn paired with off-white bone inlay
• Surface & Texture Hand-etched geometric mosaic with polished, matte surface; fine linear striations visible within each horn piece
• Measurements Large Box 12″ L × 8″ W × 5″ H · Small Box 9″ L × 6″ W × 3.5″ H
• Set Includes Two decorative storage boxes (one large, one small)
• Natural Variation Slight variations in inlay pattern, horn grain, and tone highlight the individuality of each handmade piece

Horn and bone inlay requires gentle care to preserve the integrity of the etched surface and the MDF base beneath — keep away from moisture and handle the boxes by their base rather than the lid.

• Wipe with a soft dry cloth to maintain the polished surface
• Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the inlay or dull the horn's natural tone
• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to preserve natural staining and lustre
• Store in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of horn and bone
• Do not submerge in water or expose to humidity — moisture can loosen inlay over time
• Handle by the base — avoid lifting the lid to protect the inlay at the seam
