Reflecting the cultural traditions of India, this small wooden powder container was traditionally associated with tika ceremonies and used to keep kum kum neatly stored. The individually fashioned body retains the simple charm of an earlier handmade household object, with natural variations adding to its character. Its seasoned surface has matured beautifully through time, developing a warm tone and attractive patina. In good vintage condition, this unusual collectible would make a meaningful display piece for collectors of Indian ceremonial antiques and traditional woodenware.
