Magic casket Explanation: The Magic Casket by R. Austin Freeman - Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5453886-the-magic-casket -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2017-10-06 14:52:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I know 'casket' usually means 'coffin' in contemporary US English. Still, it could work if your novel is set in an older period where casket still had its original meaning of 'box.' -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 mins (2017-10-06 14:53:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- casket /ˈkɑːskɪt/ noun a small ornamental box or chest for holding jewels, letters, or other valued objects. "a small brass casket containing four black opals" synonyms: box, chest, case, container, receptacle, coffer, trunk, crate; rarepyxis "a small casket containing four black opals" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 mins (2017-10-06 14:56:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 'Precious box' may be an option if you don't want to mention jewelry specifically. |
