A solid antique silver box from western Rajasthan, simple yet full of character. Likely used for storing lime for betel chewing, it has the quiet charm of something that was once an everyday essential. Weighing around 53 grams, its sturdy form has softened over time, carrying the marks of years of handling and use.
The front features a raised design of an Indian deity, worn smooth in places from touch, a subtle but powerful detail. It’s easy to imagine this little box being carried in the folds of fabric, tucked away safely among personal belongings. Now, it’s a piece of history in its own right, a small but striking keepsake that holds the past in the palm of your hand.
