WHAT IN SICILY? - 27

UPDATE: 10.11.09

What would this have been filled with and for what purpose?

Answer tomorrow with a photo of the whole object.

I looks rather like the bottom part of a certain type of flat-iron. If so, it would have been filled with hot coals.

Something to cook chestnuts in or a press for olives or some-such?
