Saqqara is the site in Egypt with the famous step pyramid of Djoser from around 2680 BCE.
I have had a long standing interstate’s in Egyptian art and architecture. I wanted to build a chest of drawers that would be a show piece for beautiful amboyna burl veneer. We made a series of boxes that would stack one upon the other. Forming the pyramid shape.
The marquetry is limited to the clock face where I cut up a small log that had interesting end grain.
