Today I unboxed this gorgeous saddled horse betel nut box, died of excitement, then got resuscitated and died again and now my ashes will be spread over Churchill Downs.

Senora measures 8.5” long x 3.50 deep x 7” tall.

Betel chewing permeated every layer of Cambodian society from the Court downwards. It was enjoyed by men and women alike and proffered in hospitality. Betel chewing was a key part of many social engagements and ceremonies, particularly betrothal and marriage, with the exchange of betel taking place when a contract or agreement had been reached. Consequently, betel containers were a highly prized possession and a key signifier of a family’s social standing. Acquiring these boxes is a challenge since they have become rare antiques, therefore they are extremely valuable … and expensive 😬
