This is another type of wooden box found in Teluk Intan. This version is the same as the other wooden box (chettiar petti), but this wooden box can open at the top part to place their accounts and cash with an attached drawer. It was made from teak wood and it is very heavy. This was made in the 1940's. The interesting part of it is that it comes with the key.
