19th Century Indian Metal Grain Measures Artwork there are still traces ofThese interesting little containers are handmade Indian grain measures, and they originated within the 19th century. Even though they are all made of metal and contain hooks on the side, there is a mix of age and style. Throughout the mixed collection, there are some with brass rivets, some with simple metal bands, and there are a range of sizes.
