This is a metal lunchbox/container that I bought in India about 30 years ago. The local lunch vendors used to carry curry, rice, etc. in these. Height: 255 mm Diameter: 120 mm (excluding handle) It seems to be made of stainless steel? It's sturdy, but might be a bit heavy for women. I've used it a couple of times, but please see the photos for signs of aging. If you're looking for a pristine item, please look elsewhere.
