    Hello guys,
    could really use you help understanding what that is.
    at first it looked like a shrine traveling cabinet but i just realize it has holes on the sides covered by an inner net as if it was placed in order to prevent something from getting out.
    it also has 4 hooks on the inner top 4 corners as if they were placed in order to tie something inside.
    Is that some kind of cage or am i loosing it?

    too big in my opinion to be a cricket cage since it is apx 50 cm tall.
    has two hanging hooks on the back, a drawer for some scary instruments i guess :)

    H-E-L-P
    Thanks! IMG-9660.JPG IMG-9661.JPG IMG-9662.JPG IMG-9663.JPG IMG-9664.JPG IMG-9665.JPG IMG-9666.JPG IMG-9667.JPG IMG-9668 copy.jpg

    Smadgos, in the third photo from the top . . . what does the "label(?)" say that we can see only the "bat" part of?

    Does that "label" have anything to do with the item you are asking about or was it just "caught" in the photo?

    Home for a very small animal?
    Seriously, is there any scent of any sort to the inside?

    Oh so doubt a cricket cage . I once raised crickets to feed the lizards but in a few days it stunk and crickets are unbelievably mean - the bigger males will bite off the smaller males hind legs so they can't walk and eventually die, the chirpping is actually rubbing their wings together but if you can't walk then you can't get to food then no strength to "chirp" -

    Looks like a clock case to me. The holes might have been so you could hear the chimes.

    Ya know that's what instantly came to me except the wall hanging brackets on the back - if it was a footed clock, why the wall hangers? 8th picture

    Couldn’t it just be a temple/shrine for your God? Don’t want to make a guess on which God would go in this.

    The hooks on the inside make me think it is a small food safe with the mesh stopping the flies:bag:
