Usually, they are flat on top (though some are curved), so that they could be used as a bench or small table; sometimes they were built with drawers below the main compartment and, often, there was a smaller compartment inside the lid for holding valuables. Old Indian Dowry Chest is still part of the Indian wedding tradition and a dowry box like this would be used to keep jewelers and special embroidered fabrics.

It can be difficult, even impossible, to determine whether a given Old Indian Dowry Chest was in fact intended to serve for a dowry or whether it was commissioned for some other purpose. However, it is probable that the most richly decorated pieces were marriage chests, particularly those decorated with good luck symbols and signs of red paint - the color of celebration, fertility, and blood. Large chests for dowries and other uses of course also existed, but relatively few have survived.
