This handcrafted wooden box is adorned with Tanjore painting, a sacred South Indian art form known for its raised relief work, gold foil detailing, and devotional symbolism.

Traditionally, Tanjore art lived in temples and prayer rooms. Here, it has been carefully applied to a functional wooden form—an object meant to be opened, held, and returned to again and again. The dimensional gold work is built layer by layer, creating depth that catches light softly rather than loudly.

Use this box to hold jewelry, letters, heirlooms, or ritual objects. Over time, it becomes more than storage—it becomes a keeper of memory.

Each piece is hand-painted. Slight variations in relief, gold tone, and motif are not flaws but proof of the artist’s hand.

Why it belongs in your home

This is not just a decorative box.

It is a quiet heirloom—meant to live on your shelf, not in a drawer.

Care and Handling:

  • Keep away from direct moisture and heat
  • Clean gently with a dry, soft cloth only
  • Do not use chemical cleaners or water
  • Avoid placing heavy objects on painted surfaces
  • Natural aging of gold foil and wood is expected and celebrated
These pieces are meant to age, not remain untouched.

Imperfections are a natural part of handmade products, reflecting their authenticity and craftsmanship.
