This bijou roheda wood dowry chest is from Rajasthan and dates to the 19^th century. It has hand beaten iron fittings that would have been made by a local blacksmith.

Roheda (Tecomella undulata) is a tree that grows in the Thar desert. It is sometimes called Marwar teak. It was used for making furniture and doors until the early 20th century when it became very scarce due to over cutting. However, a big replanting scheme has meant that the tree is once a more common sight in the Thar desert.
