This is a pure silver made betel box which was bought from Tanjore (South India). It is a hand made betel box and it is not consider old to be categorized as antique. It was tailor-made and I received it as a gift to add into my collection. According to the person, it took over 2 months to complete this. The silver smith did a good job and finalizing with an elaborated finishing touch.
