Kintaro Yazawa is a Japanese furniture-maker known for his incredible joinery. This is his Small Safe with Finger Joint. Very nicely done.

If you appreciate fine woodworking, check out the rest of his site.

Enjoy!

Apparently the fingers are the combination to the box. I believe the knobs pull out with a series of clicks; each knob should be pulled the number of clicks that the fingers show, then the box can be opened.
