I found something unusual whilst I was on the road.
This is an antique mahogany box, looks to be adapted from something, removed from something else (or has had something removed from it), well-used and repaired.
There is a hand-painted pentacle to the front in gold, the star filled in red paint, although over time it has faded.
Along the top of the box is the alphabet from A-Z, with a question mark at the end.
Lettering has been painted in red, black and gold.
Over use and time the lettering has faded like the pentacle, but is still clearly visible.
It looks like this box has been adapted for ritual use, there is a space for storing items inside, and what appears to be an improvised spirit/Ouija board on the top.
This piece has such a feeling to it, it’s one for you if you are interested in magical practice.
