DescriptionThis matchbox was made to promote El Nido restaurant in Tesuque, New Mexico. The outside frame of the box is a royal blue color, while the sliding-out compartment is a natural paper white. The top face of the box has the name "El Nido" written in white, with three small dove images placed to the right of the text, also in white. Under that there is a line of white text that reads "TESUQUE, NEW MEXICO," with the phone number "988-4340" written right under that. On the side of the box there is more white text, which reads "Quikopy, Santa Fe, NM." The bottom of the matchbox has an outlined image of the El Nido restaurant, which covers most of the bottom face. There is a bit of text under the image, which reads "For an elegant and traditional dining experience." The strike strip covers the whole right side of the box. On View
