Preserve your traditions in style with this exquisite German Silver Kumkum Box (Sindoor Dan). This handcrafted round container features detailed floral cut-work (jali style) engraving all around its body and dome-shaped lid, giving it a delicate, lace-like appearance.
The crowning glory of this piece is the sculpted bird (peacock) perched on the lid, holding tiny dangling bells (ghungroos) in its beak that chime softly when handled. Finished with an antique oxidized polish, this box is perfect for storing Sindoor, Kumkum, or small precious trinkets like rings and earrings.
