This little jewelry box is visually stunning and beautifully made. I use it as a backdrop for necklaces I sell on-line and its warm color and detailed carvings provide a beautiful contrast to my sparkling jewelry. It is a perfect size for a gift to a teen girl to store her treasures.
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!
