Brass Betel Lime Box Or Chuna Dani In Black Finish

This one-of-a-kind Brass Betel Lime Box (Chuna-Dani) from India was used to store lime slurry to be consumed with betel nuts. This antique brass container was largely used to store lime paste, which was mixed with betel nut and flavorings and chewed to provide a mild intoxication. This was a common practice across much of East Asia and is still prevalent in many parts of the world today. The box is simple in design and fits together neatly, which is rare for ancient pots like this.
