Indian Brass Jali Paan Dan Box - Circa 1910 Style - Meiping Vase Available in two sizesThis Indian brass box was used for storing paan leaves and is known colloquially as a paan dan. Paan is a preparation, which combines a paste of spices in a betel leaf, which is chewed for its stimulant and psychoactive effects. After chewing it is either spat out or swallowed. Paan has many variations. Slaked lime (chunam) paste is commonly added to bind the leaves. The skilled Paan maker is known as a paanwala in North India. References: A near
