Antique Ceylonese silver and copper betel nut lime box or KILLOTAYA.

Superb quality and detail with silver hinges, surrounds and chain with silver inlaid copper to front and back. Dating from late 18th century and missing its little silver spike or spoon on end of chain. (See similar example The Clive Collection at Powis Castle). Most killotayas were made of brass or copper.
