In the alleys of the Khan al-Khalili market of Egypt, craftsmen with extraordinary talent and patience inlay the mother-of-pearl onto metal or wood. The mother of pearl is cut into different shapes and then individually applied to form the finished design, usually a geometric or floral motif. Each piece may take several days to complete. 5"x4"x2" Designs vary and may not match the image.
