Introducing this exquisitely crafted vintage wooden box, which once held vibhooti, also known as bhasma or holy ash. In Hinduism, particularly in Shaivism, vibhooti symbolizes the mystical power of Lord Shiva, and wearing it serves as a reminder of life's impermanence.
This vintage Vibhooti box, widely used in various regions of South India, particularly in Karnataka, showcases a blend of aesthetic design and functional construction. The intricate carvings showcase depictions of Nandis—sacred bulls and vahanas of Lord Shiva—on all four sides, with a small Shiva Lingam nestled at the back, adding a divine presence. The box itself is set on wooden wheels, enhancing its charm and lending it the look of a ceremonial cart.
This exquisitely preserved vintage gem is truly unparalleled. Meticulously handcrafted from wood, this vibhooti box is a coveted addition to any antique collection. Its charm could also grace your coffee table, imparting a distinct touch to your decor.
Please note that vintage pieces come with small imperfections, that’s a part of its beauty and age.
