What could it be?
Admin:
Ok in the meanwhile I will move this topic to the "Ask" section
because there is where this topic should be
Daeg:
Hello!
I asked about it on other forums and what they say is that "box" could be "philakto" - something that had some saint herbs or oils, to protect the owner in Orthodox church. Still don't know what do symbols mean exactly, but generally it's cross with spread on one side and reed on other side with initial letters below - it's not words. It also could be a seal but then it should be read reversed so they wonder if it is written is Slavonic or old Greek...

Thank you for sharing the answer with us
Daeg:
:) But it's not the last answer though. Can you tell me is there anything like "philakto" in Coptic culture?
Admin:
No, it doesn't seems like a Coptic word to me
