This betel box will be coming soon in my collection, I think it's from Mindanao, Maranao people.
Copper or brass alloy with silver inlay, some of the silver inlay is missing. 9x16,5x5,8 cm. Comments are welcome! |

I really like these boxes, the thick gauge metal used makes them very heavy for their size.

Here a description from the net: The most common method of using betel nut is to slice it into thin strips and roll it in a betel leaf with slaked lime (powder) or crushed seashells. This leaf package is known as a betel quid, betel nut chew, betel chew, betel pan or betel paan (India). Regards, Detlef |
