Guiding Star Tun Wood Trivet
Guiding Star Tun Wood Trivet

This gorgeous wooden trivet is fashioned into an eight-point star, with diamond cut outs along each point and another eight-point star cutout in the center. As the included card reads, "The eight points of this star are compass points symbolizing our ability to find our way in life. They represent illumination and balance." Would make a lovely and meaningful gift! Handcrafted by artisans in India.
