Papier-Mache Trinket Box
Srinagar, Kashmir
A small lidded box of moulded paper pulp, painted by hand with the chinar leaves and blossom sprays common to Srinagar workshops, then varnished for a soft gloss. The lid lifts off cleanly and the inside is finished plain. Right for rings, buttons, or the small things that otherwise scatter across a table.
