Bird Javanese Peti

Javanese boxes, called “Peti,” were traditionally used to store rice, heirloom textiles, and wedding attire. Made from durable teak wood, these boxes are celebrated for their intricate paintings and detailed carvings.

These beautifully crafted boxes were more than just functional items; they were cherished symbols of status and heritage, passed down through generations.
