"Beautiful Box But Lock is a Pain"
Let me start by saying the artist did an amazing job carving this box. The detail is beautiful and I do love it. He is quite talented. Im giving it 3 stars because of its functionality. The locking mechanism is a pain. I broke the inside of the box trying to open it. The piece that locks it snapped right off. Apparently I didnt slide the secret panel enough and when I forced the lid up it snapped. I thought maybe it wouldnt open because it had too much lacquer. I had to force the panel so hard to get it to finish opening and to close it. Very bad idea. It is not an easy mechanism to move. Maybe mine is defective but I broke the inside trying to do it so now I cant even return it. Its too expensive to be this difficult. I recommend looking at one of the artists other boxes that dont lock like this. If it wasnt for the lock it would be a great decorative box.

"Gorgeous!"
This walnut jewelry box, Hypnotic Tree is beautiful. I love the secret mechanism that releases the lock and I love how well crafted this jewelry box is. With a tray inside and the entire interior lined in red velvet this is a jewelry box worthy of my most treasured jewelry. As always with Novica, it was very well packed and quickly shipped. I love my new treasure.

Carving walnut wood is a passion for M. Ayub. He loves every aspect of this traditional art that was taught to him as a boy. A single piece can take many years for him to create; the wood must be gathered and carefully preserved before the carving can even begin. Once carved, it must be hand-rubbed with an agate stone to produce a beautiful refined finish. M. Ayub finds that many younger people do not have the patience for this craft and he fears that it is a dying art. He is dedicated to encouraging and motivating others to continue this magnificent Indian traditional craft and he stands ready to teach those willing to learn.
M. Ayub proudly provides for the education of his son and daughter.
