Around 80 years old, this dowry box carries with it a history of passage, ritual, and care. Once used to accompany a bride into a new chapter of life, it would have held garments, jewellery, and objects of personal value, each piece chosen with intention, each detail part of a larger story.
Crafted from solid wood, its surface is richly worked with carved panels, the geometry speaks to tradition, while the worn patina reveals decades of handling, movement, and time. Every mark and imperfection forms part of its narrative, adding depth rather than detracting from its presence.
Today, it lives on not just as a functional piece, but as a vessel of memory, a sculptural reminder of heritage, craftsmanship, and the enduring rituals that shape our lives.
