Vintage Indian Brass Kudam / Dowry Box | Antique Islamic Middle Eastern Ornate.

This is a beautiful, highly ornate vintage to antique brass betel nut box (also commonly referred to as a Kudam, Nettoor Petti, or Dowry Box). It features a distinctive domed lid, intricate hand-engraved geometric patterns, and a prominent traditional hasp latch on the front. These boxes were traditionally used across South Asia (India) and the Middle East to store valuable items, jewelry, or betel nuts (paan). Please check my other items, I literally have hundreds of brass, copper, bronze, silver and ceramic antique items that I’ll be listing everyday.
