Betel set in Bidri, with a rather exceptional spittoon, and a rectangular box with geometrical decoration. The betel leaves are put into the lower part , and on the top which fits into the lower part, there are four rectangular recipients with lids : for the lime, the spices, and the ground areca nut. A similar decoration is found on the recipients and on the lids, but the pattern used for the lids is bigger.

At the side, there is a betel cutter with « Bidri » inlay decoration, and a lime container, also with the same decoration.

BIDRI :
The technique is based on the method called « wasted wax », using a mould of clay and cow-dung. The blending is obtained with copper and zinc mixed in variable proportions : three to thirty parts of zinc for one part of copper, to which are added very small amounts of lead, tin, and sometimes steel powder.

The item is polished with sand and coal powder, then darkened with copper sulphate. The decoration, mainly floral design and foliated scroll, is obtained by punching and delicate chiselling. The hollows are filled up with appliqué work or silver sheaths, which are then flattened with a hammer, but a slight prominence is sometimes left called « zar-bulan ». The item is then slightly warmed and left for several hours in a solution of sodium chloride, potassium nitrate, copper sulphate, and ammonia chloride
