Description

This richly decorated rosewood box originates from Kutch, Gujarat, and dates from the 19th century. The dark, beautifully patinated timber is embellished with an array of brass mounts, studs and decorative panels, giving the box the distinctive character associated with traditional Kutchi craftsmanship.

The front is particularly striking, with embossed brass panels depicting peacocks amongst scrolling foliage, surrounded by punched and repoussé decoration. Below are three small drawers, each fitted with an iron ring pull, while further brass studs and mounts decorate the sides and lid.

The hinged lid opens to reveal a large storage compartment, while iron carrying handles are fitted to the sides.
