Originally kept as a container for kum kum powder, this old wooden box reflects the close relationship between handmade objects and ceremonial customs in India. The artisan gave it a neat, attractive shape through hand carving, leaving the piece with an unmistakably personal quality. Its mature wooden surface shows the effects of time in a rich, mellow patina. Compact and full of character, it would make an interesting addition to a collection of antique ritual objects, traditional boxes, or Indian folk décor. Good condition. Origin India.
