Unlike conventional designs, the birds on its lid are not cut from thin shell, but sculpted from whole pieces of natural shell (원패), preserving their organic curves and pearlescent depth. They do not sit flat—they rise, casting the illusion of movement while remaining still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeonies—long cherished in Korean art as emblems of abundance and quiet beauty—bloom beneath the birds in iridescent tones. Their petals shimmer against a deep black lacquered surface, a canvas that captures shifting reflections with every glance. Butterflies hover nearby, completing a visual dialogue of nature, grace, and transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design continues seamlessly across all five visible surfaces (except the base), wrapping the box in a continuous mother-of-pearl landscape. Every panel—front, sides, back, and lid—is adorned, with the highest care given to consistency and harmony of tone and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, a velvet-lined interior reveals thoughtful compartments for rings and treasured pieces. A full mirror is fitted beneath the lid, adding both functionality and quiet elegance. Though adorned with sculpted birds, the lid retains a flat appearance from afar—thanks to a recessed design that draws the base inward to embrace the relief above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not merely a storage piece.\u003cbr\u003eIt is a statement of luxury, memory, and generational beauty—\u003cbr\u003ea timeless gift for collectors, aesthetes, or anyone who believes beauty unfolds slowly, over time and light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth- 29cm (11.42 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth- 17.5cm (6.89 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight- 10.5cm (4.13 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelated Links\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.artinko.com\/blogs\/korean-culture\/about-mother-of-pearl-art\"\u003eAbout Mother of Pearl Art\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mother of Pearls","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539263783143,"sku":null,"price":480.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/0100\/1191\/files\/FullSizeRender_e1ddb115-68d6-4f2c-b7aa-47b847ed7acb.jpg?v=1762571241","url":"https:\/\/www.artinko.com\/products\/mother-of-pearl-jewelry-box-sculpted-whole-shell-birds-and-peonies-on-black-ground","provider":"ArtinKo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
