Description from the seller

This item is a rare antique wooden spice holder, originating from the Tibet/Nepal region. It is made of hard wood, hand-carved with artisanal craftsmanship. It features a four-compartment form and a distinctive carved handle, depicting a figure in a stylized traditional style. Historically used to store spices or aromatic ingredients in the kitchen, it still bears traces of them. It is a unique antique piece, ideal as an ethnic decorative object.
