Just like our Moro gang calls everything they cannot define, Sundang, I shall call this Kilij

It looks like it has a cap, is it some sort of container? The top part looks like a shield/buckler.

I agree, it does look like something thats lifted upwards using that ring on the top.

It can be called "sahan" which is used to bring hot meals to table,and then to serve it.Ring is to lift the cover but it can be buckler or not??I vote "not"

Well, I can't find any way to open the thing... no it is not a buckler.

On the second picture the cap looks slightly open/pulled up. Perhaps it's glued in place?
The design on the top, as seen on the first picture, looks like a buckler. The thing itself is obviously not a buckler.

erlikhan, the cover/cap looks really small, I imagine only small things were cariied in this sahan? Or does a larger part of it open?

manolo,I understood what you mean after I rechecked the pictures . Perhaps the joint of the top part (which is specualted as if a buckler) is somehow broken,seperated from the rest of the cover? Otherwise it would not have a pratical use of any kind at all.
