Absolutely stunning Persian Khatam small box. Please look closely at the photos to appreciate the craftsmanship. This is small and suitable for a piece of jewelly. It is lined with red velvet. It is vintage and has some slight bruises on the edges, but no serious damage.
Designing of inlaid Khatam is a highly elaborate process. There are sometimes more than 400 tiny pieces per square inch in a work. Thin rods of different coloured woods, bone, and brass were glued together into long bunches that have different geometric cross-sections. The bunches were cut into thin slices and combined with others to create these intricate patterns.
This would make an excellent gift and elevate the status of any jewellery held within. less
