"The Favored Floral" Carved Walnut Wood Secret Box - M. Ayub 8"x5"x3"
A dense and delicate ivy covers the surface of this beautifully crafted box of India. The box is made from Kashmiri walnut wood by M. Ayub. This box seems impossible to open ...that is, until you know about the secret panel in front. Inside the box has a removable tray and is lined in velvet.The box was crafted by M. Ayub, whose artistry has been featured in Family magazine. All of his creations are crafted entirely by hand, using no machinery. Before beginning work on the walnut wood, he first dries it for 2-3 years. He never uses artificial coloring in his art. He rubs each piece with agate stone before completing it with a wax polish.
