Jeddah: Antique Inlaid Telephone

Have you ever seen a phone like this before?  I hadn't, until I laid eyes on it in Jeddah's Al Balad district.  I was on a tour of the museum homes in the old part of Jeddah and this was on display as part of the furnishings of a time gone by.  I believe a phone like this may have been imported from either Syria or India, where this type of inlay work is made.
