This kind of master handcrafting is so beautiful but difficult to find in the USA. I was especially touched by M. Ayub?s write up about the Kashmir Valley and how he learned his craft which was historically passed from one generation to the next but attracts fewer and fewer artisans these days. The box is beautifully detailed and I feel fortunate to have stumbled across his work on Novica?s site. Thank you for sharing the gift of your artistic expression and craftsmanship with the world M. Ayub!
It looks just like the photo! The craftsmanship is perfection. I love the vibrant gold interior. It was wrapped incredibly well to protect it while it made it's way to me in California. This deserves the perfect placement to show it off. Thankful for the artisans.
