Kashmire Pink & Black Trinket Box

 This papier-mache box represents a traditional Kashmiri craft dating back several centuries, where paper pulp is molded, lacquered, and hand-painted with intricate floral designs. 

The technique was influenced by Persian artisans and became a significant craft in the Kashmir region of India, particularly flourishing during the 19th and 20th centuries.

The red floral motifs against the black lacquered background exemplify the characteristic style of Kashmiri papier-machework, appealing to those interested in ethnic decor, global artisanal goods, and sustainable craft traditions.
