In the national museums’ collections are two gold Lime boxes; one is Kandyan said to be the gift to the Dehigama family by the King Kirti Sri Raja Simha. The other is a low-country lady’s Lime box with tooth and ear picks and spatula. Among the other types described and illustrated in this publication are; Animal and fruit shaped Lime boxes, Wheel or Udakkiya shaped Lime boxes, Truncate cone shaped and Globe shaped Lime boxes, Elliptical Lime boxes, Ladies Lime boxes ( Low country ) and Kandyan Lime boxes which constitute the majority.
