<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gimbler-dave, post: 332483, member: 313&quot;]I haven&#039;t looked at Bronwen&#039;s link yet, but wanted to update with some information on this side.&nbsp; I was discussing this piece with a local expert, and was mulling over the functional purpose of the piece. When I told him about the Rubylane piece, the light bulb went on - their title gets it correct, but in a very generic way. We believe it is a Spice Box, but much more specifically, one used in the Havdalah Ceremony used to celebrate the end of Shabat. It would have been filled with a variety of spices, and passed around to smell during the ceremony.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
