#4128 A hand-painted Persian Khatamkari decorative box with floral and bird motifs.
Khatamkari, also known as Khatam Bandi, is an inlay art form that originated in Persia, dating back to the 15th century. It involves the meticulous arrangement of precisely cut pieces of wood, bone, ivory, and metal into intricate geometric patterns. These patterns are then adhered to a surface, typically wood, to create decorative objects. The art form requires immense skill and patience, with each tiny piece being cut and fitted by hand. This particular box showcases a style of hand-painted decoration often found on Persian decorative arts, featuring stylized birds and flowers, with a prominent peacock motif. Such boxes were commonly used as jewelry boxes, pen cases, or decorative containers. The combination of inlay work (Khatamkari) and hand-painted designs is characteristic of decorative arts from regions like Shiraz or Isfahan in Iran.
