In Rajasthan, spice boxes like this were essential household items, particularly among nomadic and semi-nomadic groups where portability and resilience were vital. Spices held economic, medicinal, and cultural importance, and their safe storage reflected both necessity and care.
Scratch-made from locally available timber, this box was designed to travel and endure. Today, its divided interior lends itself naturally to contemporary uses—as a spice box, jewellery or keepsake container, desk organiser, or a place to store small treasured objects. Whether used functionally or simply displayed, it carries a quiet sense of movement, resourcefulness, and everyday life shaped by necessity.
A rare example of utilitarian craft, this piece bridges past and present through material honesty and thoughtful restoration.
