This box has a wide range of applications. For example, pull out the drawer -flowers spring out, overflowing the drawer. Empty out the flowers and place a white silk into the drawer and close it. Now, remove the top cover, and show that the white silk has changed into a white dove. For a different routine, open the drawer and bring out a rubber dove as Joe has pictured. Put the rubber dove back in the drawer, remove the top and produce the live dove. This is not your typical drawer box. You can see the patterned side of the drawer through the slats on the side of the box as you remove the drawer. The entire drawer can be re-moved from the box. The box has a top cover which can be removed to show the contents of the drawer. Youl love this unique black lacquered drawer box.
