Kashmir Papier Mâché Jewellery Box

Material: Traditional papier mâché (made from recycled paper pulp mixed with natural adhesives, often reinforced with a wooden base for durability), finished with multiple layers of lacquer for a glossy, protective shine.

Dimensions: Vary by model—common sizes include medium/rectangular (e.g., 8-10 inches long) or smaller square/round boxes; larger ones for more storage.

Weight: Lightweight yet sturdy (typically 300-800 grams depending on size).

Finish & Design: Hand-painted with intricate Kashmiri motifs—vibrant floral patterns (roses, lotuses, chinar leaves), arabesque vines, geometric borders, or nature-inspired scenes in rich colors like blues, greens, golds, pinks, and reds. Often features gold outlining for a luxurious touch.
