This brass container from Maharashtra exemplifies the region’s rich tradition of decorative metalwork. The ribbed body is adorned with sculptural elements, including stylized peacocks serving as both handles and a finial, reflecting strong local symbolism and aesthetic preferences. Hinged to open at the center, this intricately designed piece likely served as a paan dan (betel nut container) or a ritual box, blending utility with artistic flair characteristic of Maharashtrian craftsmanship during the period.
