Beautiful Blonde Turned Wood Treenware Cylindrical Box handmade tool When I first saw this

When I first saw this piece I immediately thought of Australian Aboriginal paintings with their stunning dot patterns

which included a collection of several other Indonesian nutcrackers

I am not sure the original purpose of this little lidded box

25" long x 1

a philanthropic organization  founded in 1892 that provided medical and social services to people in rural communities of northern Newfoundland and Labrador
