Well let's see... first you asked me:

"Curious!!...with one breath you asked what it was, then you find it...what thought, brought you this result..."

So I answered your question (why I don't know). Then you say:
"Well I,m not convinced!!"

Soooo I don't remember trying to convince anyone of anything, especially you...? Did I say exactly what it was or that what I thought was a fact?? I simply put what I found and my opinion, as did other helpful folks. You sure contributed a ton on this thread, thanks for the helpful information! Gotta love the internet.

I still haven't found the exact one like these, but I've found many similar things. The thing that got me thinking was the wooden stick/peg thing. I saw on the bottom it said MADE IN MOROCCO, so I just started googling things like moroccan scent holder, moroccan medicine holder, moroccan applicator, etc. and I ran across an image of a similar wooden thing. See here also: http://www.chrissytravels.com/2012/05/24/beauty-secrets-morocco-kohl-eyeliner/




And that made me think I was at least on the right track, who knows. As far as the other thing, I still haven't found anything, but reading about this kohl stuff was pretty interesting (egyptian kohl makeup), so I have to wonder if it's some sort of vanity kit maybe? I don't know, I'm not done yet lol. I'll report back if I get to the bottom of it. Thanks for all your help and opinions.

Think I found it, an egyptian or moroccan kohl container and applicator. Google it if interested, pretty neat history.

I got this at an antique auction for nothing and can't figure out for the life of me what it is! It's very decorative, it has Made in Morocco on the bottom, and has this strange wooden peg attached to it. Any ideas??? It came with this other piece that looks to go with it.
