Now here's a gorgeous pyxis, or trinket box, from Mycenae featuring lions, horses, bulls, and deer that you won't find at a modern department store.

Having spent much of the day woodworking, I regret the loss of the wood. The joinery (how they put the wood together) would be interesting to see. Did they use dovetails? They are known from 1st dynasty Egypt.
