Saving Tzedakah Box - Gold Gilded Magnificent Butterfly

This Tzedakah Box measures 5 inches tall and 4 inches across. The box is hexagonal.

Tzedakah Boxes are used to stash coins for donation to a charitable cause. Traditionally, before Shabbat (the Sabbath) begins, pockets are emptied into the family's Tzedakah Box.

I was able to obtain a large quantity of these unique metal boxes. I hand-cut the coin slot in the lids with my rotary tools. Then I primed the outer surfaces to prepare them for embellishment. saving I painted the boxes, added the raised elements, and applied many coats of acrylic, for a protective glossy sheen. The embellishments wrap around the 6 corners of the box, so it is beautiful from every angle!

These boxes will grace any home and may become a treasured heirloom to be passed on to your children and grandchildren. Or you may prefer to give this as a wedding gift, a hostess gift, or a housewarming gift. It would also be a meaningful gift to a Bat Mitzvah girl on her special day. At any rate, these boxes are exquisite! They represent some of my finest work ever.
