About the Item

Antique Box - Asian manufacturing Measures : 8x19cm H:19cm Betel chewing permeated every layer of Cambodian society from the Court downwards. It was enjoyed by men and women alike and proffered in hospitality.

Consequently, betel containers were a highly prized possession and a key signifier of a family’s social standing.
