[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9433562, member: 2844"]When the Maori came across red sealing wax in the 19th century, they decided it was perfect for accentuating the big round eyes on 'pounamu hei-tiki', the beautiful jade tiki pendants they wear. As far as I know, adding sealing wax to souvenir boxes was only done in the first half of the 20th century. It looks very nice, in a quirky way. I have no idea, but it may not have been original to the box.[/QUOTE]
