About Betel-Nut Cutter.
Add a touch of cultural and historical significance to your collection with this antique Indian Sarota or Betel nut Cutter.
This unique tool is a blend of scissors and nutcrackers, used to carve delicate shavings from the areca (betel) nut.
These shavings were then combined with spices and enclosed in betel leaves to create the stimulant-rich paan.
This fascinating artifact dates back to the 19th century and hails from the bustling production hub of Kutch, Gujarat.
Immerse yourself in the rich history and cultural traditions of India with this beautiful and functional antique piece.
Chewing of the betel nut dates back as far as The Vedic period in Hinduism around 1700 – 1100 BCE. Held in high esteem and very much a cultural tradition, royalty had servants carry trays and would offer guests betel nuts and betel nut leaves as one would offer a drink.
The chewing of nuts was also associated with lovers. Chewing the nut preserved fresh breath and was also known to have relaxing properties. Hence there was a sexual symbolism, the areca nut the male and the leaf the female.
Used in India, Nepal, and Tibet.
The betel nut is actually a berry (the fruit of the areca palm) that, especially in its dried form, was and is today widely chewed throughout Asia for its narcotic effect. A special type of scissors was developed to cut the dried berry. This example consists of a richly engraved horseshoe-shaped loop with a broad cutter and tapering round handles terminating in knobs.Portuguese traders began importing betel nuts into Europe in the 1500s, but they never caught on as did tea and coffee.
