About the Item
This set of three carved wooden ointment boxes originates from Timor, Indonesia. Traditionally used by local healers to store medicinal ointments and herbal remedies, these authentic objects reflect the spiritual and artisanal heritage of Timorese culture. Each box is hand-carved with intricate geometric and primitive patterns, enhanced by a natural patina that highlights the beauty of the aged wood. Presented on matte black metal bases in a museum-style display, these Timor ointment boxes combine authenticity, craftsmanship, and elegance. They make a refined decorative ensemble for ethnic, wabi-sabi, or contemporary interiors.
Ancestral in origin yet timeless in design, this set is ideal for collectors or professional decorators seeking meaningful and culturally rich pieces.
