This Hand-Painted Bone Inlay Wooden Box is a beautifully crafted piece that reflects the artistic heritage of India. Its lid is adorned with a vibrant scene depicting a royal procession, featuring finely detailed figures in traditional attire, a majestic elephant draped in ornate textiles, noble horse riders, and musicians—bringing to life the regal splendor of a bygone era. The sides of the box are illustrated with dynamic images of a leopard and a tiger, symbols of strength and nobility in Indian art. The inside of the box is also beautifully hand-painted.
Historically, boxes like this were often used to store precious items such as jewelry, keepsakes, or spices. The compact size suggests it may have served as a personal storage box or even a dowry item.

This piece’s hinged lid and secure clasp indicate a practical yet ornamental design, made to hold beloved possessions while also being displayed.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this box is more than a storage item; it is a tribute to Indian craftsmanship and a celebration of royal heritage. Whether used to store small valuables or displayed as an art piece, it brings a touch of history and elegance to any setting.
