Vintage Nepalese Betel Nut & Lime Paste Box Set – Silver Plated Brass Betel Container w/ Chain Pumpkin Pod – Hand-Chased Himalayan Ritual Bo

Bring home a true piece of Himalayan craftsmanship. This vintage Nepalese betel-nut and lime paste box set is a beautifully hand-chased ceremonial piece, complete with its original pumpkin-shaped betel nut pod attached by chain. Sets that stay complete like this are extremely hard to find.

Crafted from silver-plated brass, this piece shows warm brass undertones in a few areas where the silver has naturally thinned with age — a normal and desirable sign of authentic mid-century Nepalese work. It adds depth, character, and history to the metal.

✨ Why collectors love this one

Complete set: main lime container plus matching pumpkin pod

Silver-plated brass with gentle brass undertones

Hand-chased repoussé floral and geometric details

Interior left completely untouched with original lime-paste reaction (a key authenticity marker)

Solid, quality construction typical of 1950s–1970s Nepal

Hinge and chain in strong working order

Beautifully cleaned on the exterior while keeping the interior original


Traditionally used in the Himalayan region for preparing betel quid, these sets are both ritual objects and pieces of cultural art. The interior lime patina is exactly what collectors look for — it forms only after decades of real use.
