It’s a small stone tomb about 7cm long, it has a small stone sliding section that when you lift it there is what looks like a small stone coffin inside. It’s very old as i remember it when i was a child (50 years ago). I have tried searching the internet but to no avail, i am fascinated by it and would very much like to learn about. It’s very beautiful with hand carved patterns and what looks like Chinese writing / inscription on the front. I have attached a picture that may help to identify it and its purpose. Any help gratefully received, thanks for reading. Quote
