Bidri Pandan with Chevrons

Cleveland Museum of Art

The object is a dark brown or black octagonal box with a wide, shallow shape. The box's exterior is primarily white with a black geometric pattern consisting of chevrons. The chevron pattern consists of multiple rows of inverted and upright chevrons. Each chevron contains a swirling design within it. The box's interior is dark brown or black and appears to be made of a rougher material than the exterior. The background of the image gradually transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The artist and title of the piece are "Bidri Pandan with Chevrons".
