Wooden Box Decorated with Colorful Mother of Pearl Shells in Islamic Style

This ornate rectangular wooden ring box is handcrafted and inlaid using a form of artistry that dates back to the Medieval Islam era. This lively arabesque style was very popular in geometrical woodwork and saw great innovations in craftsmanship. Harmonious, floral geometric patterns influenced by beautiful Islamic arabesque mosaics adorn the wooden box. Each piece is hand-inlaid individually on the item to create a unique pattern each time. It’s a reflection of the artist’s individuality and creativity.

Each mother of pearl inlay box is different but still equally as beautiful. This craft takes up to 250 hours of artisanal work. Mother of pearl or nacre is the biomaterial that forms inside the molluscan shells o the outer coat of pearls. The box is inlaid with Australian, almost iridescent-like shells. The color of the mother of pearl shells is an effect of the heat and the water ecosystem.
