I’m not quite sure, but it might be a cheese mold.
Jewelry box? I saw it on Etsy which means it’s probably stolen.
Butter mold
Never seen anything like that. Also the decoration isn’t typical Norwegian.
Tacoskåler.
Its a device used to create troll food
I am fairly certain it’s neither a cheese- or butter mold. Molds usually have removable sides and carved decorations on the inside. The lids also look unpractical for molding purposes.
The measurements can be pretty important to determine what kind of box this is though. If its a smaller box, then my best guess is that this is a barber box for storing barber equipments, or other small types of accessories. Usually these barber boxes have more elongated and rektangular shapes and hinged lids or sliding lids, but I’ve seen other atypical ones with similiar characteristics as this one. The conpartments in the box could be one for soap and the other for cloth and barberknife.
The butter and cheeze molds can be totally disassembled. How would you get the butter out of that one.
Probably also why it survived the centuries, it just hung on a wall somewhere without much use.
Boxes with sliding lids and multiple compartments have been used for keeping ink bottles. You can check if you find some stains on the inside, then it certainly was used for ink.
Either this or for barber stuff, but definitely not anything food related.
Snusboks
My guess, It’s to keep coins;)
This is an old tool farmers used to make hockey powder.
A rare double-sided Ytterdaal stash-box, for when the farmer didnt trust with his grass
