Raas Leela 6-Slot Box - Pattachitra Wooden Gift Box

The Raas Leela is a scene of abundance — Krishna dancing simultaneously with every Gopi in the circle, present to each of them at once. It felt right to give this particular telling of the story more room, which is why this box is built with six internal compartments beneath a lid painted with the full dance, the ten incarnations of Vishnu running along its sides.

The artwork is created in Pattachitra, the scroll-painting tradition of Raghurajpur and Puri in Odisha, where artists prepare their own cloth canvas with tamarind paste and clay before painting free-hand with natural pigments and a fine brush.

With six separate compartments, this box is built for someone who actually sorts their jewellery — rings in one section, earrings in another, chains kept from tangling in a third. That makes it a considered gift for a wedding, an anniversary, or any occasion that calls for something with real daily function behind the artwork.

The hand-painted Pattachitra artwork is applied to the box through decoupage and finished with a clear-coat seal.

Material: Pattachitra artwork on medium-density engineered wood, decoupage finish, clear-coat sealant

Dimensions: 21.8cm x 25.5cm x 10.2cm
