Syrian Mosaic Jewelry Box – Handmade trinket box with Mosaic pattern
Description
This is a handmade jewelry box from Syria. These little storage boxes are handcrafted using different type of woods and shells. Most of them have Arabesque or Islamic patterns brought to life with inlays of Mother of Pearl, wood and sometimes Camel bones.
I acquired my first Syrian boxes while working in Jordan. The Mosaic patterns are made of different type of woods such a Lemon, Rose, Walnut and others. This way the colorful fronts and sides are created by the different colored woods.
I also visited Cairo’s most famous Souq, Khan El-Khalili. Strolling through the narrow aisles, you cannot ignore the wonderful handmade goods offered by the merchants. I especially fell in love with rugs, lamps and these little Mosaic boxes that come in many different shapes, sizes, and designs.

We cleaned the boxes carefully. Please keep in mind that these are vintage products and not newly made. They might have color differences, imperfections, stains or alike.
