The lid presents a hand-painted ceramic tile panel of vivid polychrome character — a peacock in full display rendered in cobalt, teal, and jade green against a white ground dense with floral sprays, exotic birds, and pomegranate motifs in coral, yellow, and forest green. The painting is executed with the miniaturist precision of a tradition that measures quality in millimetres, the detail extraordinary at close range and immediately striking from a distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tile panel is set within a border of crimson and gold stripes that frames it with the formality of a picture, and the body of the box below is entirely covered in khatam micro-mosaic — the ancient Persian technique of assembling thousands of individually cut pieces of wood, bone, and metal wire into a repeating geometric star pattern of near-impossible fineness. The result is a surface of deep, warm colour — amber, dark wood, and ivory — that reads as textile from a distance and as pure precision work up close. Small bracket feet lift the box from its surface, completing the piece with a detail of quiet elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA collector's object of the first order — suited to a writing desk, a dressing table, or a display shelf where both the ceramic painting and the khatam mosaic work can be properly appreciated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Width: 14 cm Height: 6 cm Depth: 10 cm\u003cbr\u003eEach piece is unique and handmade to order.\u003cbr\u003eContact us to enquire about this piece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Al Maleh House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43464838119537,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"MAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/2235\/2497\/files\/Firefly_GeminiFlash_Removebackgroundcompletely_replacewithpurewhitestudiobackground_keepthebox480471.png?v=1781538951","url":"https:\/\/almalehhouse.com\/products\/persian-khatam-micro-mosaic-box-hand-painted-peacock-ceramic-tile-lid-with-gold-border","provider":"Al Maleh House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
