This old Indian brass box was used for the storage of paan leaves. Paan is a preparation, which combines a paste of spices in a betel leaf, which is chewed for its stimulant and psychoactive effects. Slaked lime (chunam) paste is commonly added to bind the leaves. The skilled Paan maker is known as a paanwala in North India.

Today this beautiful jali work box would make a perfect jewellery or keepsake box.
