Pictures below showing a Malay wooden sirih box, decorated with a solid silver plaques engraved and punched with Islamic-inspired scrolling floral and vegetal motifs - a motif that is highly characteristic of Malay silver work.
The sides are also decorated with scrolling floral and vine motifs and include the Malay-type stylized clove head motif that is often seen on Malay silver work.
The box contains four silver cembul and an iron kacip (nut cutter / nutcracker) in the form of a stylized bird. The handles are sheathed in silver.
