These carved teak wood tika boxes from Banswara tribal region in Rajasthan are usually carved from a single piece of teak wood. They were used for storing the red powder used for marking the forehead of Hindus known as a tika mark or bindi.

This wonderfully characterful piece depicts a peacock whose wings open outwards to reveal the interior. Peacocks roam freely in Rajasthan and are a symbol of good luck. You see them carved on the beams over doorways and windows, on masala and tika boxes, betelnut cutters to name but a few examples.

A perfect gift for a collector of village art, each one is unique. They look wonderful displayed in a group on a wall or table.
