Rare and magnificent carved wooden box, of Indian origin probably from Rajasthan, decorated with a stylized bird's head and floral and geometric motifs.
The object has a dual function: decorative and utilitarian. Inside, two levels of superimposed compartments allow for the storage or placement of objects (spices, pigments, small accessories).
