Round Decorative Jewelry Box with Traditional Straw Marquetry

The “Agon” wooden box from the Salamyany Kod collection is a small decorative piece with a story behind its ornament. Made from natural wood, it is finished by hand and decorated with genuine straw marquetry. The warm golden straw stands out against the dark surface and catches the light beautifully, changing in tone and brightness as the box is viewed from different angles.

With a diameter of 7.5 cm and a height of 5 cm, this round wooden box is ideal for rings, earrings, chains, coins, keepsakes and other small personal items. Its compact size makes it easy to place on a dresser, bedside table, desk or display shelf. The wood is protected with a safe water-based finish.

Salamyany Kod explores traditional Belarusian ornament as a language of symbols. Four designs form one connected story: Agon represents man and fire, Krasa represents woman and spring, Syamya stands for family and the shared home, while Sontsa symbolizes light, life and the continuation of generations.

Agon — a Belarusian Symbol of Fire and Masculine Strength

The eight-rayed sign on the lid is associated with fire and the warmth of the family hearth. Within the collection, it represents masculine energy, determination, movement and the strength to protect one’s home. This meaning makes the box a thoughtful gift for a husband, father, brother, colleague or anyone who appreciates symbolic handmade objects.

Part Belarusian souvenir, part decorative jewelry box, it also appeals to collectors of folk art, ethnic home decor and traditional crafts. Every piece is handmade, so slight variations in the wood, straw color and placement of individual elements are natural and make each box unique.
