Description from the seller

The hamam soapbox ('Kildan') was traditionally used to carry washcloths and soap to public Turkish baths (Hamams).
The box has a hinged lid, a special lock plate (see photos), and a decorative hole pattern in the bottom for the leak water.
The red copper box is still partly galvanized and decorated with a hand-engraved decorative pattern. The handle and the legs are made of brass.
The legs are a little crooked, but the box is sturdy.
The bathhouse soap dish is in very beautiful condition.
A unique and very beautiful item.
