That's the box.

"Handcrafted from solid pine wood, finished with beeswax oil, lined in deep green velvet, and fitted with a faux gator-skin leather carrying strap with gold hardware,” the listing adds, “each box features custom engraved details and is exclusively numbered 1/500, making this an essential piece of art for the hive.”

Fyi. Pine wood is like the cheapest wood that exists.
Secondly. It uses pleather labeled as "faux leather". Aka vinyl.

Engraved with a cnc machine.

Looks glued together.

Wow. If you want a fancy box buy one from an artisan off Etsy or in real life or something.

It's a very basic box, which makes it so much funnier

Honestly I was expecting something looking like a little treasure chest or something.

It's just a plain ass box. Like what you would find at a craft store.
