Timeless Miracle

A Pleasant Surprise

Dear reader, while the wooden box usually tells its story directly, in this case, we face a unique

situation where the box is "dumb"-mute, in a sense. Thus, its story is being narrated by me, the

author, based on personal discussions and historical research.

Buying at an online auction where only pictures are available is never an ideal situation. There is

no true substitute for having the object in hand or directly in front of you for a more accurate

assessment. However, this is not always possible, so one must make the best of the information

provided.
