Jewellery box ➔ Tango.
Identifier:
MusA-319Description
This jewellery box is a handmade piece, crafted out of fine woods and veneered with holy wood, rosewood and satinwood. Due to its beauty and design that consists of two elements which resemble a pair of dancers, the author called it Tango.Geometrically, the piece is composed by two (distinct) oblique rectangular pyramids, one that works as the storage compartment of the jewellery box and the other that works as the lid. Both pyramids fit together through one of their side faces and separate in the opening process. The pyramid that works as the compartment has a horizontal base, and the projection of the vertex falls on one of the base vertices. The pyramid that works as the lid, when in place, has its base perpendicular to the horizontal plane and its vertex touches the other vertex.

Devido à sua beleza e design composto por 2 elementos, que mais faz lembrar um par de bailarinos, o autor designou-a por "Tango".
