|The practice of inlaying ivory into wood dates back to the Umayyad period and is recorded in both Spain and North Africa. Fine ivory inlaid furniture was particularly popular during the Nasrid period and this chest demonstrates a continuation of this tradition in later centuries. For a chest with similar decoration dated to the 16th or 17th century in the Victoria & Albert Museum see Mariam Rosser-Owen, Islamic Arts from Spain, London, 2010, p. 90, no. 82.
