Velvet-Lined Papier Mache Wood Box with Mughal Queen Motif, "Queen's Grandeur"

This wood and papier mache box exemplifies the magnificence of the Mughal era. Indian artisan Riyas creates this design by using the papier mache process on kail wood and then decorating the exterior using oil paints. The painted design portrays the Mughal queen in the center of the lid, surrounded by intricately-formed vines. The sides feature additional vine details. Inside, the box is lined with black velvet for added protection of valuables.
