English: Gebedsnoot (in Dutch) or Prayer nut (in English) refers to a small boxwood object between the size of a walnut and the size of a golf ball that opens to reveal religious devotional scenes. It was an extremely costly object for private devotion. Many were created in the 16th-century in the Netherlands. Not to be mistaken with a pomander! (See Category:Pomanders.)
