The inscription gives this piece an especially distinctive character and sense of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis antique brass nutcracker follows the classic Indian sarota form: two hinged blades that scissor together, topped with a handle featuring the engraved maker's inscription \"BONKU BEHARI DEY\" with a partially visible date, along with a brass rosette rivet at the hinge. Traditionally used for cracking betel nuts, pieces like this are now collected for their metalwork as much as their function. The aged surface and hand-finished detailing give it the character of a genuine handcrafted piece rather than a modern casting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height 13 cm × Width 7 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 grams.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hinged double-blade sarota form with engraved maker's inscription \"BONKU BEHARI DEY\", a partially visible date and brass rosette rivet at the hinge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aged patina with natural tonal variation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCraftsmanship:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional metalwork with engraved and hand-finished detailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
