This exceptional late 18th century painted cash box from Phalodi, Rajasthan, is a vivid example of the storytelling and decorative traditions found in Indian folk furniture. Hand-painted in rich earthy reds, ochres and black pigments, the exterior is adorned with processional elephants, courtly figures, floral motifs and symbolic imagery, all rendered in the distinctive style associated with the desert trading regions of western India. The beautifully aged surface and worn pigments give the piece remarkable depth and authenticity.

Originally used for storing cash, valuables or important documents, the box retains its original iron lock plate and protective metal corner mounts. Inside, a fitted compartmentalised interior reveals its practical function, while the underside of the lid features an elaborate floral lattice design centred around a stylised blossom. Pieces from Phalodi are particularly prized for their expressive painted decoration and strong regional character, making this a highly decorative and collectible example of Rajasthani utilitarian art.
