Egyptian handcrafted piece with mother-of-pearl inlays
The combination of wood and mother-of-pearl has a long history in traditional Middle Eastern craftsmanship. The inlay of small mother-of-pearl elements creates high-contrast geometric patterns, the surface of which shimmers differently depending on the angle of the light. In this handcrafted chessboard, the inlay work, the preserved manufacturer’s label and its Egyptian origin make every detail part of its unique history.
