About this item: This jewelry box is bursting with floral exuberance. It is carved by hand by India's M. Ayub from noble walnut wood in the shape of a classic treasure chest. The box is lined with velvet and fitted with a removable tray; the upper and lower sections are divided into two compartments. The box features a secret locking mechanism and can be opened by sliding the lower front panel of the box to the right side. About our Artist: M. Ayub was born in the valley of Kashmir. 'It was our family tradition to work with walnut wood,' he says. 'I have pursued this craft since I learned it as a boy. Today, this is a dying craft. Walnut wood is obtained from very old and, at times, dead walnut trees dried for two to three years. The pieces are completely carved by hand and no artificial color is ever used. They are rubbed with stone before a wax polish is applied. Each piece requires a colossal investment of time and dedication.'
