Created by Indian Art, this exquisite artifact can be found in the esteemed collection of the Indian Museum in Kolkata. The intricate craftsmanship and historical significance of this relic casket make it a true treasure of ancient India. Made from soapstone steatite, its delicate engravings reveal the mastery of artisans who lived centuries ago. The Brahmi script adorning its surface adds an air of mystery and intrigue, inviting us to delve into the rich cultural heritage and religious practices prevalent during that era.
