Old antique wooden spice box – India

Dimensions: approx. 18×13×H5 cm

This beautiful, old wooden spice box comes from India and was once used to store herbs, spices, or color pigments during cooking or ritual use. The box is entirely handmade and features a unique hand-carved motif on the lid—typical of traditional Indian folk art.

Each side exudes authenticity: the weathered dark-brown patina, the wear marks from intensive use, and the organic character of the wood make this a unique object with soul. These kinds of boxes were used daily in rural village kitchens, but also in temples where herbs and powders held symbolic significance.

The beautifully weathered look and heavy, solid wood fit perfectly within a simple, robust and wabi-sabi interior.
Beautiful as a decorative piece on a tray, sideboard, or in a wall cabinet. Also stunning with moss, a small candle beside it, or simply as a unique collector's piece.
