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.

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....

For grinding and mixing medicines in an apothecary's kitchen?
