Nature’s Mosaic Symphony Vase Pair | Afghan Gemstone Art

A Sculptural Expression of Afghan Craftsmanship

A coordinated pair of six-sided vases in which birds, flowering branches, animals and figurative motifs are individually composed from naturally coloured semi-precious stones against a richly textured lapis lazuli ground.

Handcrafted in Kabul by artisan Rayees, this matched pair transforms traditional Afghan stone-inlay work into a striking decorative composition. Material originating in Badakhshan, Afghanistan, is carefully selected before each vase is shaped, assembled, inlaid, polished and hand-finished in Kabul over a solid brass core.

Each of the six decorated faces presents a different nature-inspired scene. Birds rest among flowering branches, animals appear within stylized landscapes, and detailed figurative motifs bring movement and narrative character to the deep-blue surfaces. The broad faceted rim, angular body and geometric base give each vase a commanding architectural silhouette.

Displayed together, the pair creates a balanced focal point on a console, mantel or dining table. Positioned separately, the two vases establish visual continuity across cabinets, bookshelves or a formal living space.

Designed for collectors, interior designers and meaningful gifting, this coordinated pair brings together Afghan heritage, natural mineral colour and intricate decorative craftsmanship.

Natural Variation & Authenticity

Each stone element is individually selected, shaped and positioned by hand. Natural variations in colour, mineral pattern and texture—together with subtle differences in motif placement and fine detailing—are signatures of authentic materials and handmade production.

These variations are not defects. They ensure that every matched pair possesses its own character. A Golden Loom Afghanistan Certificate of Authenticity is included.

Care

Display indoors on stable, level surfaces. Dust gently with a clean, dry, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, chemical polish, prolonged moisture, direct heat and sudden impact. Lift each vase from its body or base rather than the wide projecting rim.

Production & Insured Delivery

This pair is made to order in approximately 9 days. After production and final inspection, both vases are securely packed and dispatched together with tracking and insured international delivery to eligible destinations.

Estimated delivery is 7–21 days after dispatch.
