Antique Indian Mughal polychrome wood panel wedding box or dowry chest. These boxes were traditionally used by brides to store items like jewelry, fabrics, and family heirlooms as part of their dowry.
The box features a hinged lid and is adorned with numerous hand-painted figural and floral motifs in the style of Mughal or Rajput folk art.
It is typically crafted from woods like rosewood, teak, or jackfruit wood.
The polychrome (multi-colored) decoration is a prominent feature, often reflecting Rajasthani culture and mythology.
These boxes are not only functional storage items but also serve as decorative pieces that showcase the rich heritage of the region.
