<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 337971, member: 37"]Older travel souvenir. Name would have been carved at the time of purchase. The floral decoration is similar to that of Tonala pottery but don't know if it translate the same to wood. Acapulco and Tonala are in different states, not all that close to each other. The band on the edge of the lid, is based on pre-Columbian motifs. Don't know what type of wood would be used. Some kind of tropical hardwood.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
