This hand-carved hexagonal box comes from the Damascene carving tradition. Mother-of-pearl is inlaid into the carving, and the light walnut finish shows the depth of the cuts and the natural grain of the wood.
Inside, a wine-red velvet lining protects jewelry, keepsakes and other treasured personal items.
