In deciding what the box may be used for my advice is to look at the decoration; In some Quran holders the work is geometrical in accordance with a general rule although not right across the geographical area of the religion from the Atlantic to the far flung reaches of China...because of regional variation...taste and localized tradition ~ On some Quran holders other religious scenes may be worked...for example a Mosque. (as seen above) Other boxes appear however they are the Palaskas of Greek form...some are boxes for grease whilst others carried bullets. The Quran holder was not used for bullets...
