About the Item
A small jade box setted with rubies, diamonds and gold in form of flower motifs this small box is made from top quality jade. This shade of nephrite jade has its provenance from early Jehangir's period and the shade matched the various hilts and items made in Mughal emperor Jehangir's era.
The box carved out from Iranian jade has been meticulously emptied fully from inside and is practically weightless given the medium it is made in. The box lid can be picked up easily from the top revealing the carving done at the back of the lid, the same carving is also replicated at the bottom of the box.
Box has been inlaid with natural rubies and emerald with the help of gold. The gold purity used in this technique of setting is 24K purity.
The box has small hole provisions at the top where the lid comes and meets the bottom part of the box which can be used as the indicators in which direction the lid has to be kept, also the small hole markings can be used to add further gold based hinge and lock mechanism in the box.
These type of boxes were used in ancient India by imperial families to keep vermiliion for gods, to keep cardamom for guests or to keep small things very close to their heart. The box also found its use to keep snuff in ancient china.
