A Large Cast Brass Betel (Sirih) Lime Box: Toba Batak People - Northern Sumatra, Indonesia - circa 1900.
This lime box is finely decorated with embossed floral and geometric motif. Various types of betel or Sirih receptacles were created in the Malay and Indonesian Archipelago to hold the ingredients of the betel chew.
This fine example is sectionally cast in brass using the 'lost wax' process. A recessed circular collet type lip locates the cover section in place - the whole form of slightly compressed spherical appearance.

Weight - 400 grams approx.
