"Indian Metal Offering Trunk"
There you go, I knew very well that I would one day regret having skipped the foreign language classes at school.... If I had been more diligent, I would certainly have been able to tell you if the inscriptions on this box The offering was rather written in Tegulou, Marathi or even Bengali or Hindi.... Too bad you decide to take it to India to have it translated.... The cow painted on this trunk will give you a clue perhaps .
