    IMG_8940.jpeg IMG_8937.jpeg IMG_8932.jpeg IMG_8930.jpeg IMG_8931.jpeg IMG_8938.jpeg Hi all,I rediscovered this interesting little wooden container in a drawer (don’t think I have posted about it before?) Handmade and painted. Vintage or antique? So is it Asian or Indian? What is the purpose of this? General storage? 19cm in overall length and standing 8cm tall. Thank you for any comments

    Nice folk art, charming.:)
    Yes to India, my guess is Rajasthan, although I have never seen one before. Another guess: Early 20th century.
    Made for a specific purpose. Maybe for something that fits snugly in the slot?
