This authentic Kashmiri papier-mâché jewelry box represents a rich artistic legacy. Introduced in the 14th century and refined under Mughal patronage, this intricate craft is renowned for its vibrant, hand-painted designs. Artisans (Naqqashi) use natural pigments to create motifs like the iconic Chinar leaf, irises, and other nature-inspired patterns, all protected by a coat of lacquer. This specific piece is from "PERSIAN CRAFTS," a business on The Bund, Srinagar in Kashmir, India—a historic commercial hub during the British era known for high-quality local handicrafts.
