Small Sikki Trinket Box

Madhubani district, Mithila, Bihar

A palm-sized box coiled from sikki grass, the pale gold stem that Mithila households have long turned into dowry baskets and toys. Some strands are dyed in madder red or leaf green and worked into simple bands. Good for rings, coins, cardamom pods, or the small things a desk collects.

Each ring of the box is built up by wrapping fine sikki strands around a grass core, so tightly that the lid closes with a soft press.

Buying handmade keeps a craft in work. That is the whole model — no middle story.
