The craft
Mother-of-pearl and abalone shell are cut into tiny tiles and set by hand into a wooden body, then sanded and polished until the shell shines. Khatam pieces use a micro-mosaic of wood, bone and shell assembled into geometric patterns.
Caring for your piece
Dust with a soft, dry cloth. Keep it away from water, direct sunlight and strong heat, and avoid perfume or cleaning sprays on the shell.
