For your consideration is a vintage Bidriware snuff box. It features a metal box with a slide lid. The lid has a silver inlay foliage design. Bidriware is a metal handicraft originating from Bidar, India, and has been practiced since the 14th century. This art form involves inlaying pure silver into a blackened metal alloy, primarily zinc, which turns black when dipped in a special soil found near Bidar Fort. The silver inlay retains its original color, creating a striking contrast. It’s a wonderful collectible and can be used for trinkets or pills.
Please refer to the photos as they’re part of the description. Very good preowned vintage condition.
