Indian style Matchbox - My new Render

Well I wasn't working on any project so when I got some time I made this...
An Indian style Matchbox

First of all the name written on it is in "Gujarati language" "Kapas" it means "Cotton"
And "Gujarati" is my mother tongue.
All textures are custom accept dark brown wood.
Tried to make it real, and the end result even surprised me.
For the lighting there is one area light and 360° hdri image.
The matches in the box are put using rigid body and collision modifier.
1000 Samples, about 37 minutes on CPU i7.
This image remembers me my childhood coz I raised playing with those empty matchboxes, making stuff out of it.
.
So, that's it for the description,
Hope you'll like it.
Happy blending !!!
