It’s small and rather simply made but feels solid with a good weight. Is 28cm long,stands 20cm tall and about 15cm wide. Is an attractive little chest. Is it a dowry box? Or just decorative box? It looks vintage to me but not sure it’s antique? What do you all think? Thank you and keep well

    Charming box, Boland. It certainly looks like that general region to me, Northern India-Pakistan-Afghanistan.

    Yes, I would, although I find these difficult to date.
    I wonder if the feet are replacements.
