Thanks.
Rather about the identification of the object itself. What is it, what was it used for?

Could be incense box for home (Шкатулка для ладана). i have several with the cross on top but if you Google for Шкатулка для ладана you will find many without cross and made of various material.

All this could be what you're talking about, but I can not find anything that would be the same or very similar :(

Hello.
I share again photos of the cleared box. I understand that this may be a pyx or a reliquary for holy relics without Catholic signs but I think that there may be a rosary box. I will put a smaller silver box with the figure of Pope John Paul II in which the rosary is.In total, it can be for everything :)
