Opening this wooden box from India once released the irresistible aroma of a spice blend such as garam masala or panch phoron. Redolent with cardamom, fenugreek, and other aromatics, such carefully crafted condiments were the pride of an Indian homemaker and key ingredients to nearly every meal. Simply carved with a single floral medallion on the lid, this spice box has been burnished to a warm finish by the loving touch of generations of home cooks. We love it displayed slightly ajar, filled with wrapped candies or odds and ends.
