Not really sure what this is. Thought maybe an apothecary drawer or something from a ship...really just guessing.

Looks like an iron age ice cube tray.....or some sort of a crucible.

Sorry, forgot to mention that it it carved out of a solid piece of wood. I'm posting this for a friend.

It may be an old antique spice box.

I'm assuming that piece on top swivels or just lays over, to cover the 4 compartments?
Would keep spices from blowing away.

Search "antique South Indian wooden spice boxes" or "Old teak spice boxes"
See if the image search will show you something very similar.


oops, sorry, here's pics that led me to think, spice box....
