Kashmiri Silver Betel Nut Box, Khaas Daan, Late 19th Century

About the Item

Kashmiri silver betel nut box, Khaas Daan, late 19th century Betel-chewing is a leisure pastime practiced since ancient times in many parts of south and southeast Asia. It involves wrapping areca nut, slaked lime and other ingredients in a betel leaf to make a quid or small package which is chewed to create a mild stimulant effect. The ingredients for the betel quid were kept in sets of containers of various materials and forms. The wealthiest had sets of silver or gold crafted with elaborate designs to delight the eye; during the 19th century and earlier, sets were also markers of rank and status. Bronze was much more commonly owned.
