About this item: Rampant ivy flourishes with style transforming this jewelry box into sublime handcrafted artistry. Carving with elegant finesse, M. Ayub creates this extraordinary jewelry box from Kashmiri walnut wood. The box opens up to two compartments lined with soft velvet, and a smaller one is featured for rings. The box features a secret locking mechanism and can be opened by sliding the lower front panel of the box to the right side. - Each artwork is unique -- wood grain, color, and pattern will differ slightly from picture 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.'
