[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 1982573, member: 301"]No, you're right ! & to Bakers question... the egg, or lemon shape with the high dome is made primarily to hold such an item. A trinket box, having half of it unable to hold anything....I don't see that as a trinket box.. ! Many etrog boxes are indeed of a more square variety.....but also normally , they have Jewish markings on them, or are very ornate. When they don't...you kinda just have to know what they are.....sometimes by the interior, which will have a resting place for the fruit... But for me...without having seen a vast number of them.....I'd think they could be jewelry boxes... or even tea boxes....depending on their size... [ATTACH=full]247300[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]247301[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]247302[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]247303[/ATTACH] But the boxes that are shaped to hold the fruit kinda just look like they were made for that purpose...
