If you have read my earlier post regarding Historical Artifact created by Benvenuto. Are you able to guess what is this historical artifact used for?

| Cellini Salt Cellar front view |
It's a Salt Cellar on the dining table. Yes it's a very beautiful piece of art sculpture created by Benvenuto Cellini in 1543. There are two sculptures Male and Female. The Male sculpture represent the sea and the Female sculpture represents the earth.
Let's have a 360 view of the Salt Cellar... Can you see the detail on the sculpture itself?

| Cellini Salt Cellar - Behind View |
Do you know where would the salt being placed in this Salt Cellar? If you guess the bowl... You are right! The salt was placed in the bowl beside the male sculpture.
So, what do you think about the Cellini Salt Cellar?

The salt probably costs 10 sen but the gold plated ornament could be thousands dollars.
Twilight Man: this artifact has stolen on 2003 when they were restoring the musuem. The museum has rewarded Euro 70,000 to recover this piece of artifact. So it's not thousands dollars, it's at least Euro 70,000 and more :p
a very well detailed artifact indeed! that worth millions here
Euro 70, 000???? *faint*
All my guesses wrong...lol
MECoy: Yes~ Indeed it's a very nice piece of art work.
Small Kucing: No one actually have the correct answer :) So no worry...
