Early 20th Century Indian Spice Box

The kind of box that once sat on a kitchen shelf or courtyard table in India. Carved from a single block of wood with a pivoting lid, it opens to two small compartments — just the right size for spices or betel nut.
 
Practical, handled often, and worn smooth over decades of use, it’s a simple early to mid-20th century object that speaks to everyday life.
