[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 4320238, member: 8267"]Please provide a link to this box you found, so we can see what the seller said about it. The style of carving is typical of east African work - Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, etc. The scenes seem to be agricultural. It was probably made for sale as a trinket box, with no specific use in mind. Betel nut use is most common in South and Southeast Asia.[/QUOTE]
