Curios, 4 to 8 inch
About this collection
Curios at this height are decorative brass pieces such as pan dan boxes, money boxes and cow carts. A pan dan is a traditional box for betel, and at this size it sits on a shelf or a desk as an accent piece. Each piece is chosen for its design.
Pieces this size are easy to knock over, so set them on a flat surface away from the edge. Brass curios develop a patina that many people value, so dust them gently with a soft brush and avoid harsh polish that can remove the finish. A soft cloth is enough for most dust.
