Sized from 0-13. These
beaded dowry boxes are roughly 70 years old and one
of a kind. They were made by the bride-to-be when
in her teens, in preparation for her wedding day. She would keep her personal articles suck as makeup
in the smaller boxes; the medium boxes were used for
wedding foods and cakes, and thus lined with banana
leaves. This was all part of the bridal procession
to the groom's house. Therefore the boxes are very
colourful as well as ceremonial. Designs will vary
due to individual workmanship. Inquire to availability
