Indian box for spices or incense or tikka box / India (Décoretout31)

  

Old Indian round polychrome wooden box, early 1900s. It could have been used as a container for storing spices, incense, or other items. Around the edge, there are traces of inscriptions that have faded; see the last 5 photos.

Given its patina, it has been used extensively. The wall is thick, and the base of the box is 25 mm thick. Height with lid: 12 cm.
