A gleaming beauty that overflows with a dash of allure, this hand carved jewelry box celebrates the unparalleled craftsmanship of the artists in and around the city of Agra, home to one of the seven wonders of the World - Taj Mahal. The intricate design and diligent execution instantly reminds one that this is where supreme beauty was embodied first-hand. These hand carved offerings from the same love, warmth, and dedication that the ivory mausoleum immortalized long ago by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. Reclaiming the art of stone carving and making wonders out of it, the Agra artisans have crafted this box using the method of inlay. The delicate process of inlay involves cutting and engraving shapes manually in intricate patterns. While inlay covers a range of techniques, it is a skill that is highly specialized and requires a great deal of dexterity, precision, patience and time. Inlaying is the method of setting or embedding decorative patterns and designs into a shallow surface. Due to the nature of this technique, slight irregularities are inevitable. These attributes lend authenticity, character and exclusivity to each piece. A fine little chest to accommodate precious jewels, this bijoux box will reserve a spot on your dressing table!
