Paper Mache Utility Box with Traditional Miniature Painting

This elegant handcrafted paper mache utility box combines functional storage with authentic Indian folk art. The lid displays a finely detailed miniature-style painting of a royal procession, complete with an elephant bearing a howdah, mounted and standing figures in traditional attire, and decorative floral borders. The muted green ground is accented with yellow and white detailing, creating a refined, heritage aesthetic.

Made from layered paper mache, the box is lightweight yet sturdy, with a smooth painted finish and a contrasting dark interior. It is ideal for organizing jewelry, trinkets, stationery, or keepsakes on a desk, shelf, or dressing table. The slightly raised lid design allows easy access while protecting contents.

Each piece is individually painted by skilled artisans, so minor variations in color and detail are natural and add to its handmade character.
