Raising their trunks in cheerful victory, two elephants reach the summit of a steep hill. They flank a lush tree in a composition of detailed artistry by M. Ayub. He works with seasoned walnut wood, expertly carving the relief work by hand, from a single piece of wood. The box is lined with velvet and features a removable tray. The box also features a secret locking mechanism and can be opened by sliding the lower front panel of the box to the right side.

My daughter LOVES elephants, and was so excited to receive this for her birthday. Well made, unique. Would highly recommend!

This box was astonishingly beautiful. The pattern was so detailed. The box was large, and the wood was rich. The hidden bar to open the box was an extra delight. To the craftsman, I would just like to say thank you. I feel like it is a personal gift.

Preserving Traditions
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.
Enabling Education
M. Ayub proudly provides for the education of his son and daughter.
"No artificial colour is ever used on my walnut products. They are rubbed with agate stone before a wax polish is applied. It is a colossal investment in terms of time and dedication."
