Found this old jewel box in one my cupboards . The patterns and inlays are slowly peeling off but the work is still exquisite.
Took the photo in bright sunlight. on a white background .
The design and pattern on this box is found in many traditional and ancient Indian items.

Each of the four front stairwells have a unique inlay...all hand painted by Nita...one of the staff of four dedicated to keeping the magic alive in this wonderful place.
"The mosaic mural "After" commemorates the Black Saturday fires of 2009 in the Central Victorian localities north of Kyneton with many homes and a church lost on that tragic day.
A richly mosaiced fire front landscape scene sets the theme with surrounding black tiles inlayed with fire burned materials. The neighbours, friends and wider community tiles transition from dark colours to lighter depending on their proximity to the event.
The Black Saturday bushfires were a series of bushfires that ignited or were burning across the state of Victoria on and around Saturday, 7 February 2009. The fires occurred during extreme bushfire-weather conditions and resulted in Australia's highest ever loss of life from a bushfire; 173 people died and 414 were injured as a result of the fires.
As many as 400 individual fires were recorded on 7 February. Following the events of 7 February 2009 and its aftermath, that day has become widely referred to as Black Saturday."

This is one of my favorite rings.
An abstract detail of a metallic installation, likely a monument or decorative element, at the Ashio Copper Mine in Nikkō, Japan. The composition highlights the contrast between the smooth, golden brass or copper disc and the surrounding dark, textured, and worn metal rings.
Stone inlay on the ground. Line of rocks to suggest a wall. This beautiful place was filled everywhere with thoughtful design and details. The place itself was art.
Terrific Tuesday to you.
