The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this piece. The dressing box is adorned with appliquéd silk and linen plain weaves, creating a stunning backdrop for the biblical scenes depicted. The use of twill plaited tapes adds texture and depth to the design, while embroidered silk metal threads and linen stitches bring life to the characters portrayed. Covered with luxurious silk satin weave fabric, this dressing box exudes elegance. Its edges are beautifully finished with woven tape, adding a touch of sophistication to its overall appearance. The floral patterns adorning this artwork showcase the skillful artistry involved in its creation. Delicate beadwork incorporating mica and pearls further enhances its beauty, creating a visual feast for the eyes.
