Instead of a repeating tile pattern it uses horizontal bands of foliate scrollwork, each in a different colour: saffron on the lid, ivory and cobalt across the upper body, and teal along the base. Every leaf is outlined in black and framed by ivory pinstripes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrimson ground with horizontal bands of foliate scrollwork stacked up each face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaffron scrolls on the lid, ivory and cobalt through the upper body, teal along the base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack outlining on every leaf and stem, with ivory pinstripes dividing the bands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift-off fitted lid with scrollwork continuing around the lid rim and both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 x 4 x 4 inches (20 x 10 x 10 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seasoned solid wood with hand-painted oil finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glossy, sealed, hand-painted oil-based paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jewellery and keepsake storage, watch and accessory box, desk organiser, gift presentation box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wipe with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth.

Swati painters use it on chest lids and door panels, and it carries over to boxware as an alternative to allover lattices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow does it compare to the other two boxes?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe black box is the most ornate, with gold liner work throughout. The ivory box is the most neutral, with a continuous tile lattice. This crimson box sits between them: bold in colour, simpler in structure, and the most graphic of the three.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan the three boxes be displayed together?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. They share the same 8x4x4 inch footprint and the same motif vocabulary in three different grounds, so they group naturally on a shelf, console, or dressing table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs it suitable for gifting jewellery?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a common choice as a presentation box for a gifted piece of jewellery, since the recipient keeps the box afterwards as a storage piece.
