Part of our ethnic gift collection, these rectangular decorative boxes are made of genuine leather in Egypt. Embossed on the sides, and silver intricate Arabesque design on top makes this jewelry box functional and decorative.

Murals from 4000 BC depict Egyptians wearing high heels made of flexible leather pieces and held onto the foot with leather ties, while panels of gilded leather work appear in some of the tombs. One of the earliest examples of Egyptian leather work is a 980 BC canopy of appliqued leather. And the Egyptian Mathematical Leather Roll, featuring a table of fraction expansions, dates from the Middle Kingdom period.
