Description
DeepL TranslateGujarat, circa 1920
This wonderful wooden chest, referred to as a damchiya in India, is typical of those traditionally given as a dowry gift from a bride's parents to the groom's family. The damchiya served as a symbol of wealth and prestige, helping to attract a suitable husband for a daughter. It would be filled with luxurious items such as jewelry, silks, and other valuable family heirlooms.
