The object in the image is a vintage brass betel box, also known as a paan daan or, in South India, a vettila chellam. These boxes were traditionally used to store and serve betel quids, a customary preparation chewed across South Asia.

     The box is typically made of brass or bronze and features multiple compartments for storing the various ingredients needed for paan, such as betel leaves, areca nuts, slaked lime, and sometimes tobacco. Serving paan has been an integral part of Indian culinary and social traditions for centuries. Authentic vintage chellams are considered rare collectibles today.

     The object in the image is a traditional Kuthu Vilakku (or Nilavilakku), which is a type of brass or bronze oil lamp from South India.

     These lamps are widely used for daily prayers, festivals like Onam and Vishu, and various rituals and ceremonies in Kerala and Tamil Nadu homes and temples.

     This is an antique or vintage-style brass vessel, often referred to as a brass glass, tumbler, pot, or small urn, featuring intricate floral engravings.

     Drinking from brass vessels is traditionally believed to have Ayurvedic health benefits, such as improving digestion.

     The image displays a vintage, hand-carved wooden box, likely a traditional Indian spice box or a Yoruba Ifa divination box.

     These items are often antique or vintage pieces, hand-crafted with carved designs. Similar traditional boxes were historically used in Indian village kitchens for storing spices.

     This object is a traditional tool called arival petti which translates to a "sickle box" or scabbard for a toddy tapper's knife. It is also known as panai yerum ubakaranam (palm climbing equipment).

      This handmade container, crafted from palm leaves or bark, is used by traditional toddy tappers in parts of India, such as Kerala and Tamil Nadu, to safely carry the sharp knife they use to make cuts in the palm inflorescence to collect sap (toddy or neera).

     The object is a natural shell, likely from a large sea snail. It has a rough, pitted, and aged appearance, with colors ranging from beige to light brown and some reddish spots. The shell has a spiral shape, typical of gastropods, and a large opening (aperture) on one side. Conch shells, particularly those that spiral to the right (dakshinavarti shankh), hold significant religious and cultural importance in Hinduism and Buddhism, where they are used as trumpets during rituals and considered sacred objects.

     This is an antique Chinese stoneware jar, likely a ginger jar.

This type of jar, originating in China, was historically used to store commodities like ginger, wines, and other foods.

     This is a traditional terracotta clay pot, also known in some regions as a mitti ki handi or an amphora.
