A small six-sided trinket box, hand carved from sheesham wood in Northern India. A band of carved flower rosettes runs diagonally across the lid, framed by zigzag borders, while each of the six sides is carved with a fan-shaped leaf motif. The box sits on a neat stepped base.
It’s left in a natural finish, so the warm, honey-brown colour and grain of the sheesham show through. The hinged lid opens to a plain interior, just the right size for rings, earrings, small jewellery or keepsakes.
Sheesham, also known as Indian rosewood, is a dense, durable hardwood traditionally used by Indian craftsmen for carved boxes and furniture.
Compact and pretty, it makes a lovely small gift or stocking filler.
