Anubis Mummification Scene Jewelry Box Handcrafted with Mother of Pearl (6.5 H, 10.5 W, 2 L inches)

Pharaonic box is hand-crafted with high-quality mahogany wood and delicately hand-inlaid with precious iridescent mother of pearl, painted over with vibrant natural colors. 

 Mother of pearl shell is a natural kind of decoration that is extracted from the biomaterial that forms inside molluscan shells, as well as it makes up the outer coating of pearls. It has multiple uses in architecture, fashion, and musical instruments. The natural Nacre tesserae are cut into small shapes then tinted with any color for decoration.

This unique box is adorned with an iconic scene from ancient Egyptian mythology and the Book of the Dead. It highlights the god of mummification and afterlife, Anubis during the weighing of the heart ceremony in the underworld before the deceased passes to the afterlife.
