Jali tray in walnut - large
$199.00
Jali Tray 1
High-quality hand-carved walnut tray made exclusively for Jali Designs at Turquoise Mountain, Afghanistan
Wooden jali (lattice) screens are traditionally found instead of windows on the old houses in Afghanistan, preserving privacy and sheltering inhabitants from the strong sunshine. Small pieces of cedar or walnut wood are fitted together by hand, traditionally without glue, into intricate geometric patterns.

This elegant and practical tray is made from walnut, a durable, sustainable wood that is native to Afghanistan, and hand-finished with a thin layer of oil. Walnut is hand-carved for all Jali Designs products exported worldwide.
