Netturpetti: The ethnic jewellery box of Kerala, this fully handcrafted box was originally made by the highly skilled and creative artisans of Nettur in the Malabar region (northern Kerala). Made of rosewood, the box is first varnished and then fitted with brass frames. As very few of the original artisans remain today, Netturpetti has become rare, and hence, a collector’s item.
Available at Culture Shoppe's outlet at Mascot Hotel, Thiruvananthapuram. Culture Shoppe is the official agency of the Department of Tourism, Government of Kerala
