Khatam Micro-Mosaic & Hand-Painted Dome Jewellery Chest — Polychrome Medallion Lid

A small dome-lidded jewellery chest of considerable charm, its barrel-form lid hand-painted with a bold polychrome medallion — a layered composition of turquoise, cobalt blue, crimson, and saffron yellow with dot-work accents radiating from a central point in a burst of concentrated colour. The painted panel is bordered by Khatam micro-mosaic geometric star inlay in warm amber and ebony tones that wraps the lid edge and the full body of the chest, the fine lattice pattern continuing to the four small feet at the base. The contrast between the painterly freedom of the dome medallion and the mathematical precision of the Khatam surround gives the piece a vitality that larger objects rarely achieve.

A jewellery chest of intimate scale and maximum decorative ambition — its dome lid a miniature painting, its sides a work of patient geometric craft.
