About the Item

This unique, colorful and highly stylized hand-painted octagonal wooden box, depicts images of traditional Indian people of the Rajasthani area. Each are beautifully painted in detail with colorful clothing and rich jewels. Rajasthani clothing is extremely vibrant, reflecting in a way the spirit of the people. The beautifully designed clothes lend cheerfulness to the dull-colored monotone of the sands and hills. Interesting costumes and jewelery of these desert people are not mere ornaments for them. Everything from head-to-toe including the turbans, clothes, jewelery and even the footwear establish the identity, religion, and the economic and social status of the population of Rajasthan. The clothes worn by the people of Rajasthan are designed keeping in mind the climate and conditions in which they live. Box can be used as storage, possibly used for tea originally and features a latch for closing and locking.
