Sunflowers that blossom with spectacular artistry adorn this jewelry box from India. It is carved by hand from walnut wood by master carved M. Ayub. His expertise is evident as he creates the relief work on the lid from a single block of wood. Inside, the velvet-lined box is divided into two compartments. The box features a secret locking mechanism and can be opened by sliding the lower front panel of the box to the right side.

This box was astonishingly beautiful. The pattern was so detailed. The box was large, and the wood was rich. The hidden bar to open the box was an extra delight. To the craftsman, I would just like to say thank you. I feel like it is a personal gift.

This beautifully carved jewelry case I gave to my husband for Valentines Day, with a little something extra on the inside. It is lovely workmanship in wood carving and unique. The symbolic camel in the oasis symbolizes my husband, who is a refreshing delight and one of his nicknames!

Preserving Traditions
Carving walnut wood is a passion for M. Ayub. He loves every aspect of this traditional art that was taught to him as a boy. A single piece can take many years for him to create; the wood must be gathered and carefully preserved before the carving can even begin. Once carved, it must be hand-rubbed with an agate stone to produce a beautiful refined finish. M. Ayub finds that many younger people do not have the patience for this craft and he fears that it is a dying art. He is dedicated to encouraging and motivating others to continue this magnificent Indian traditional craft and he stands ready to teach those willing to learn.
Enabling Education
M. Ayub proudly provides for the education of his son and daughter.
"No artificial color is ever used on my walnut products. They are rubbed with agate stone before a wax polish is applied. It is a colossal investment in terms of time and dedication...."
