Evoking the elegance of courtly rituals, this elaborate silver paan dan with tray is designed to hold the many ingredients used in preparing betel quid. Refined enamel work in shades of green and turquoise adorns the entire set, with floral motifs creating a lush, ornamental surface. Four oval, two round, and one central container—with a flat tray and domed lid topped by a bud finial reminiscent of Lucknow architecture—form the core of the ensemble. All are gilded within, while the tray’s rim sparkles with a row of turquoise cabochons. A fringe of hanging green glass adds a touch of festive flair, and smaller spice boxes highlight its ceremonial use.
