A beautifully handcrafted pietra dura round marble trinket box, showcasing the centuries-old decorative art form perfected in both Mughal India and Renaissance Florence. The lid features an inlaid floral design composed of semi-precious stones — with luminous mother-of-pearl petals, warm jasper tones, and contrasting dark stone leaves — all set into richly veined beige marble.
The body of the box is further adorned with delicate hand-carved jali openwork, a hallmark of Indian craftsmanship that lends texture, intricacy, and airiness to the piece. Measuring approximately 3.5” diameter x 1.5” high, this box is ideal for storing jewelry, keepsakes, or simply as a decorative objet d’art.
Dimensions:
2.5" Diam x 1.5" H
