Thin slices of betel nut were mixed with lime paste and spices to create pan, a mild intoxicant enjoyed at the Mughal court. The box is enveloped with elegantly intertwining floral motifs in white, red, and gold set against a ground of translucent green enamel. Tiny red and white birds rest upon the flowering stems. Flowering plants seem to be a favorite motif of Doris Duke, found throughout her collection, in jewelry, textiles, paintings, and even the architecture of the walls of Shangri La \u2014 from the dado panels and jali screens of the Mughal Gallery to the intricate \u2018ajami paintings adorning the walls of the Ottoman and Qajar Galleries."},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Enameled gold"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"1"},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Enamelled Gold Octagonal Lidded Box with Bird and Floral Motifs on Exterior and Bottom"},"classification":{"label":"Classifications","value":"Metalwork"},"primaryMedia":{"value":"http://collection.shangrilahawaii.org/internal/media/dispatcher/44076/full"},"depth":{"label":"Depth","value":"9.5250000000"},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"19th - 20th century"},"width":{"label":"Width","value":"12.0650000000"},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"164567"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"Overall: 1 7/8 x 4 3/4 x 3 3/4 in.
