Designed for practicality and durability, tiffin carriers such as this were commonly used by workers and travellers to transport food between home and workplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe container is made from brass and consists of three separate stackable compartments secured within a sturdy brass wire frame with a hinged locking handle.
