Each one of a kind piece combines hand cut and polished semi-precious and other stones from around the world with exotic woods in designs intended to highlight the characteristics of both the stone and to emphasize the harmonious natural colors and patterns in the wood. The pieces are inspired by ancient Indian petroglyphs and pictographs. The wood is finished with tung oil to bring out its natural color and texture
