I have found this Antique Persian pencil case from Portobello Antiques Market. As soon as I saw it, I love it! I really like the intricate colourful painting on it. I thought at first it is made from ivory, but not, it is made from wood. It is in fact inlay wood.

I love the colourful painting!

The dealer told me that it was made in 1910 to 1920, so it is approximately 95 to 100 years old.

It is I think a pencil case, but can be used as other functions of course.

I have searched from Google, that the design is called Khatam. It is a unique inlay design in Persian crafting.

It has also Khatam on the sides

The design depicts a scene hunting, with some men in horses maybe hunting deer?
