Brand: Designz Interior
This object is a vintage Dhokra brass coin box or container from India, traditionally sculpted into the stylized shape of a mango fruit.
Craftsmanship & Cultural Origin
- Art Style: It is crafted using Dhokra art (sometimes spelled Dokra), an ancient Indian folk method of non-ferrous metal casting that utilizes the intricate lost-wax technique.
- Design Features: The container displays characteristic lattice-like geometric openwork (jali cut patterns) wrapped in parallel metal lines and rows of dots, which are highly representative of tribal metal crafts from regions like Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and West Bengal.
- Utility: While historically used as a mini cashbox or specialized storage container for coins or small valuables, collectors today also use similar pieces as decorative room freshener pots, incense containers, or antique trinket boxes.
