Description
Twilight settles over a lake in the far north. The water is glassy, the loons are calling, and a canoe drifts silently toward the reeds. Then, without a sound, a moose steps from the trees on the opposite shore, lowers his great head to drink, and lifts it again, dripping, to stare at the travelers. Nobody moves. Nobody dares.
This box captures that breathtaking encounter. A moose is portrayed with intricate detailing, from the broad sweep of his antlers to the shaggy line of his shoulders. Made by Rochard, he measures 3.25 by 2.25 by 3 inches, a handsome presence on a lodge mantel, a cabin bookshelf or a rustic desk. He opens to hold small treasures or keepsakes, perhaps a fishing fly, a pocketknife’s tiny key or a pebble from the lakeshore. Give him to a hunter, a hiker, a wildlife photographer or anyone who feels most at home in the deep, quiet woods.
