Iron Bound Teak Grain Measure From Rajasthan - 19th Century Tang Horses but the drawers and interiorThis beautifully restored 19th century grain measure from Rajasthan is hand carved from solid teak and bound with riveted iron straps. Once a practical tool in Indian marketplaces, it was used to measure wheat, corn, rice, and pulsesoften in traditional units known as seers and pattis. Its warm, timeworn patinaenhanced by skilled restorationreveals the rich character of the teak, while the iron banding adds striking contrast and structural integrity.
