These lovely old tikka pot or tikka boxes are hand carved from single hollowed out pieces of teak, then painted with lacquer. These lidded pots traditionally hold the red tikka vermillion (bindi) powder used for marking the forehead with a red dot or stripe during Hindu ceremonies.
These lovely old pieces make beautiful statement pieces for the home, especially when grouped. They date to the early 1900s, although some are from the 1950-60s..
