In 1505, when the Portuguese encountered Sri Lanka, they came in contact with a rich and ancient material culture. They were particularly enchanted by ivory carvings. Realising the potential of these delicate treasures as diplomatic gifts, a monarch in Sri Lanka presented carved ivory caskets to Queen Catherine of Braganza in Lisbon. Soon, ivory caskets and small cabinets produced in Sri Lanka, by order of Portuguese traders, were in demand among European collectors. The Dutch, who ousted the Portuguese from Sri Lanka in the 1640s, likewise traded carved ivory cabinets to Europe. By early 18th century, the demand for Sri Lankan ivory carvings had dwindled in Europe, and the taste for exotics was changing.
