Antique Indian "Daan Peti" - Hindu Donation Box, Gujarat - IND 31

This wonderfully weathered wooden alms box, painted in vivid blue and inscribed in Gujarati with "Daan Peti" (donation box), has a more intimate, handmade quality than its metal counterparts — carved and assembled by a local craftsman for a home shrine or small village temple. Its chipped paint, original hinged lid, and wall-mounting bracket speak to decades of faithful daily use, making it a deeply human and historically resonant piece for any collector of Indian folk art and spiritual objects.
