Description

Intricate inlay work has been practiced in the Middle East for more than 4,500 years. These beech-wood boxes are inlaid with hundreds of hand-cut pieces of iridescent mother-of-pearl and re-create an arabesque design from the seventh century. Lined with red velvet, they make excellent jewelry boxes or striking desk accessories. Handmade in Egypt. Small: 4"W x 2"H x 2 3/4"D. Large: 5 1/2"W x 2 1/4"H x 3 1/2"D.
