About the Item
Betel Nut is consumed on a daily basis in a large portion of the Indonesian Archipelago. In Java, betel nut was offered as a sign of respect and hospitality when people would visit one's home. Often these betel nut boxes stored various nuts, leaves, tobacco, and other spices. The present box dates to the Early 20th Century with an array of compartments. It is visibly old with an age-related patina present on the wood. It also features a wonderful polychromed finish, with fading of the color adding to its charm. A wonderful piece to use as a jewelry box or storing/presenting other precious items. A wonderful piece of Indonesian history and culture.
