The lid inlay is colored epoxy. It is a design taken from a medallion on a serving table excavated form the Midas Tumulus, ca. 800 BC, in Turkey. My goal was to make an elegant yet functional jewelry box with easy access to all of its contents, hence the elevating tray. I felt that the bow front would add visual interest, soften the shape, and complement the round inlay. The finish is blonde shellac and wax.

Gorgeous. I'm curious about the epoxy inlay. Did you use something like a pin router to excavate for the inlay?
Nice work.

Larry,
Thanks for the compliment. I did the inlay recess with a CNC router, ShopBot to be specific.

How nice for the eye, colour, proportions, texture, combination of contrasts. I can almost feel the same under my fingers.
May I be so nosy and ask, how did you get to this design. You say it is your design, but how much did old Greek influenced you?
