Lapis Lazuli Tabletop with Sunflowers
Afghanistan

This impressive decorative tabletop is hand-fabricated from sections of fine Afghanistan Lapis lazuli inlaid with a sunflower motif at the center. The Lapis's rich midnight-blue coloration, flecked with natural golden Pyrite, provides a striking contrast to the warm tones of the floral inlay. The craftsmanship highlights the precision of traditional stone intarsia techniques, resulting in a design that is both vibrant and refined. A substantial and beautifully executed piece of lapidary artistry, combining natural elegance and decorative sophistication on a grand scale.
