Please look closely at the photos to appreciate the craftsmanship.

Designing of inlaid Khatam is a highly elaborate process. There are sometimes more than 400 tiny pieces per square inch in a work. Thin rods of different coloured woods, bone, and brass were glued together into long bunches that have different geometric cross-sections. The bunches were cut into thin slices and combined with others to create these intricate patterns.

No damage detected, only slight wear from age, as seen in the photos. Glass is intact.

This would make an excellent gift and elevate the status of any picture held within.
