Burma Sandalwood Stamp Coin Shadowbox

Description

Antique Burma (Myanmar) Shadowbox with:
1. (x1) Hand-carved Sandlewood (spelled Sandalwood) Rosary (Badi) from Yangon (formerly know as Rangoon).
- Sandalwood is a class of woods from trees in the genus Santalum and often cited as one of the most expensive woods in the world. I cannot guarantee that this is actual Sandalwood but if I was to guess depending on the age and color, I’d say it is. Please keep in mind that the wood may not may not still be fragrant.
2. (x1) 3 Pice George VI stamp from 1938 that looks new and unused/uncirculated.
3. (x1) George VI King Emperor Copper Coin 1940 with nice patina. I’m not sure what the back of the coin looks like but from my research it is most likely a 1/2 Pice from India.
Info on back of the frame:
“Archipelago”

The rosary has come unglued from the material used to keep the rosary in place but it’s hardly noticeable once the frame is hung; the rosary stays in place anyway.
George VI became King unexpectedly following the abdication of his brother, Kind Edward VIII, in December 1936.
The official English name was changed from Burma to Myanmar in 1989 and so was the name Rangoon to Yangon.
