About this work

This is a small wooden box with a dark, weathered surface. The wood looks old and worn, with visible grain and a few cracks. There’s a narrow opening at the bottom, and a small white label with handwritten text is stuck near the top. The box has a number stamped on it, and the label might hold clues about its use. It looks like something meant to hold something special, maybe even sacred. Next, look up cult object to see how objects like this were used in different cultures.
