This soapstone jar is more than just another trinket container/jar. It has a little history to it making it more of a special gift.
A little background info: Kumkum is made up of from dried powered Turmeric (a spice) that has been soaked in slaked lime that causes it go blood red. Its red color is then used as a favorable symbol on Eastern Indian women in Hindu Religion and culture. A pinch of Kumkum on a forehead is used by Indian women to enhance their natural beauty or or used as a sign as being married. A KumKum jar has been traditionally gifted on special occasions. Sometimes offering it to ladies or to elderly women is a sign of deference, a sign ofrespector honor.
I'm know the previous owner of this jar used it as a Kumkum jar because as I was taking pictures of it, though it had been wiped clean, there apparently traces still in the jar. When I took the lid off, a couple of very fine specks fell on the white background. Not knowing what the specks were, I went to wipe them out of the view and an ever so slight red thread size smear appeared.
Please refer to the pictures for a more comprehensive detailed description of the item's condition.
