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.

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?

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

Nice work.
