Containers for Vermillion and Collyrium

This brass container having several compartments for collyrium and vermillion is adorned with figures of peacocks all around. The top compartment is for collyrium and opens with a lid hinged on one side. This compartment itself can be slid by pushing it aside to open the bottom compartment which is divided into two sections- one for the dry vermillion powder and another for the wet. To close, the upper compartment is slid back to position where it gets automatically locked up under the beak of one of the peacocks.
Such multi-compartment containers for collyrium and vermillion with deep aesthetic engagement in combination with compactness and smooth dovetailing of elements speak of efficient design in everyday life.
