A charming vintage handcrafted elegant round box with an original contrasting aged green interior. The delicate circular detailing and traditional dotted pattern work give this piece a strong old-world decorative appeal.
It was traditionally used for storing kumkum
powder. Kumkum powder is made from turmeric and slaked lime and is used in Hindu ceremonies during tilak ceremonies to bless the forehead between the eyebrows, an area believed to represent the spiritual third eye and inner divinity.
It could also have been used for
jewelry, small keepsakes, spices, or vanity essentials.
