The masala dabba (spice container) seen from above. It's made of stainless steel and it has a geometrical type ornamental pattern (in two rings) on the outside of the lid and in the middle of the lid there's a largish flower-like decoration with a ring of much smaller leaves around it. It's pretty enough without being garish. It's meant to contain the ingredients you use most.
