Design & Craftsmanship Specifications

The Artisan’s Touch: The creation of this rooster box spans several weeks, passing from the Sakhtasaz (the structural mold shaper) to the Naqqash (the master artist). The shimmering highlights are achieved using real metallic washes, protected under multiple coats of specialized organic lacquer to give it that signature glass-like gloss.
