Tereo (tay-reh'-o) means "to attend to carefully, to guard or keep like a treasure." A four-piece match of "bees wing" Satinwood is the field, with Macassar Ebony banding, and Gaboon Ebony inlaid in the edges. This type of match makes good use of light illuminating the individual triangles. The two opposing triangles will fade or light up as you move the jewelry box. An Abalone escutcheon covers the keyhole for the working lock.
