• The basic form of most of these Old Indian
  Dowry Chest is large and rectangular. Usually
  they are flat on top (though some are curved), so
  that they could be used as a bench or small
  table sometimes they were built with drawers
  below the main compartment and, often, there was
  a smaller compartment inside the lid for holding
  valuables. Old Indian Dowry Chest is still part
  of the Indian wedding tradition and a dowry box

• It can be difficult, even impossible, to
  determine whether a given Old Indian Dowry Chest
  was in fact intended to serve for a dowry or
  whether it was commissioned for some other
  purpose. However, it is probable that the most
  richly decorated pieces were marriage chests,
  particularly those decorated with good luck
  symbols and signs of red paint - the color of
  celebration, fertility and blood. Large chests
  for dowries and other uses of course also
  existed, but relatively few have survived.
