    Description

    Rare Geometric Moorish design. Handcrafted Khatam wooden box with very delicate micro mosaic marquetry from the ancient Middle Eastern technique of inlaying from arrangements of so many delicate pieces of precious wood and Mother of Pearl. Comes from a smoke free home. One op the top right corners, there's a small piece missing and on the inside upper right corner the felt kind of split. It has a lock on it and has a key. I tried it, but couldn't get it to lock. It might just be me, not positive if it locks or not. It's a beautiful piece.
