Need better pics,, all 4 sides, top and bottom !! And a close up of the inlay,, although most that are made in this manner are inlaid with bone rather than mother of pearl !!

Where are you located ?? Looks like a folk art type !!  Nothing really stands out on it !!  I would call it primitive !!  Does appear to be hand made and inlaid !!  Could be mother of pearl or something else,,, hard to tell !!
