Ottoman 16-Point Rosette Box

Ottoman 16-Point Rosette Box

This small keepsake box is laser-cut from walnut in the spirit of 16th-century Ottoman wood inlay. The lid centres on a tightly woven 16-point star rosette surrounded by rumi (split-leaf) arabesques, while the side band carries interlocking strapwork reminiscent of Cairo’s Mamluk mashrabiya screens. Modern digital cutting captures the delicacy of historic court carpentry, turning a traditional pattern into a contemporary casket for jewellery or prayer beads.
