Step into the rich cultural heritage of South India with this exquisite 'Netur Peti' box from the Malabar region. Historically, these wooden boxes, adorned with brass fittings, were given to a bride by her parents on her wedding day and contained valuable items such as jewellery and money. The box's shape symbolizes the bride's new home, making it a meaningful and sentimental piece.

This particular box is a true treasure, as the top has been expertly carved from a single piece of wood, making it a unique and rare find. The brass fittings are hand-beaten, showcasing the exceptional skill of the artisans who created it. Although 2 pieces are missing, as shown in the photographs, the quality of the brass work is still superb.
