Lot 170: A Trio of Anglo-Indian Style Hand-Carved Wooden Items
A trio of hand-carved wooden items comprising one rectangular lidded box and two matching open-topped containers, produced in the Anglo-Indian style.

The items are crafted from a dark-stained hardwood, such as sheesham or walnut. Each piece exhibits deep, hand-worked carving. No manufacturer marks or signatures are visible; adhesive auction labels are present on the exterior surfaces.
