A finely hand-etched brass betel nut box from the Philippines, this antique piece reflects the ceremonial artistry of Southeast Asia. Each panel displays intricate geometric and floral motifs, engraved with remarkable precision and softened by a century of patina.
Traditionally used to store betel leaves and areca nuts, the box now serves as a tactile artifact of cultural heritage. Its weight, texture, and aged luster make it an evocative accent for collectors of ethnographic objects and global décor.
