    Could be, or matches / tapers, offerings to whichever god they believe in.
    I`ve seen many in the Greek Islands.

    In Crete I drove up a high mountain,to get to the Samaria Gorge, on every bend there were these boxes, the higher I went the more there were.
    I counted over 40 on one bend where a bus had gone over the edge.
    Each one was lit each day, fresh candle.

    Is there a hole in the bottom?? With the door closed I would have thought the CO2 would build up and snuff out any candles.

    If it’s supposed to be wall mounted, could very well be for bread storage. Common in UK.

    My Father used the term "Bollox" all the time .. in fact he used many old words that only a sailor would use, BAD words .. Bollox was mild .. I was terrified of him, Joy.

    Bill Ward often wrote bolex on his drum skins. perhaps to hit them harder.

    Deer fello spelers aint got an X.

    Cited from wikipedia
    "Bollocks" /ˈbɒləks/ is a word of Middle English origin, meaning "testicles". The word is often used figuratively in colloquial British English and Hiberno-English as a noun to mean "nonsense", an expletive following a minor accident or misfortune, or an adjective to mean "poor quality" or "useless"
