khatam karee means "hand-inlaid."  To inlay is to apply wood or other materials in geometric shapes to decorate the surface of various objects. The average is 250 pieces for every cubic centimeter of inlaid work.

This trinket box is great for holding business cards or small trinkets, such as pins or cufflinks.  The wood trim is hand-carved and the interior is varnished wood. The box slides out from the end.  You can see the "notch" indicating where to pull out the box from the lid. The intricate pattern on the lid is known as esleemee in Persian. This item would make an excellent gift for anyone who is fond of fine craftsmanship, folk arts, decorators or anyone looking for that extra touch of class for their home or office.
