Pinjra (Food cloche)
Design Innovation and Craft Resource Centre, CEPT University
Ahmedabad, India
Pinjra like the featured one are heavy as they are made entirely of metal. This prevents the pinjra from being moved by pets and protecting the food inside. It had a metal ring at the top to hold and lift it up. A pinjra would generally be used to cover freshly prepared food that would be arranged on the floor of the kitchen.
