    Your thoughts pretty please! What is it?
    With lid on, it stands 7" high. Is it Chinese?, Age, origin and what are the animals on the bamboo part? The top is a frog, right?
    The top and bottom appear to be some type of wood. The center is bamboo (I think). Thanks for your time.:) Sorry about all the pics, just trying to get a full view of those animals.

    You're most welcome.

    Most likely a lime paste or powder container.

    I've been looking for something similar for almost 2 weeks now, LOL!:bucktooth::bucktooth::D:D
    You're absolutely right, after searching with your keywords, it looks like some type of lime container and/or betel nut container. Thanks again.

    The guy on the lid looks like a frog. The others, not so much.
