It looks very much like something that I'd melt soft metals down in before pouring off into molds, but I don't think that I'd do that in a kitchen. Cheers. |

I am getting PMs that tell me that some people know the name and exact use for this item. I'll keep watch and if necessary I'll try to think of creative hints to help every one get this contest. |

I think it is a mixing bowl. |

mixing bowl Again kind of, but it has a formal name, and is from a special place and time. It is not Greek but was used there, the same thing for Africa. Yes you can mix things in it and it comes with a pestle. It is old. |

Well I have been gone for a while and no one either knows or wants to say what they think the object is. Next hint: think Roman Republic.... SenÄtus Populusque RÅmÄnus! |

It looks like this one is a dud so if there are no more responses by tomorrow I'll beg off and let some else give it a try. |
