    Hello, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me more about this jewelry box. It looks handpainted, and there is a lot of detail. Also, is this sticker on the bottom indicating that it is some kind of cultural object of value? It measures 6 inches x 4 inches x 1.5 inches.

    It also means this isn't a new item; it's been around a while.

    The Kashmir Government Arts Emporium has a web site (below.) Its branches, including the one in Srinagar, sell "handicraft items manufactured by the artisans and Craft persons of the State." One of their product lines is papier-mâché boxes such as yours. I imagine that being state-sponsored does provide a certain indication of quality.
