    I have No idea what this is.
    It is metal Either bronze or Iron on a marble base
    There is a hidden Draw with 2 big openings on Top
    It is 8 inches Long and 6 inches High
    The draw pulls out
    Any idea about it's use or origin would be appreciated.

    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    I was going to say part of some kind of coffee machine, but Komo is probably closer........

    Steve, does it look like there was once something on the opening on the left in the first photo?
    It looks like a chariot in the shape of a winged creature. And I agree, could be a spice mill/grinder.
    How is it hidden? Surely that curly thing is the handle?
