There were some very creative guesses for yesterday's Sicilian object and now I'll put you all out of your misery. It's a container in which to make pasta dough or bread, so that the flour doesn't go all over the place. [I could do with one myself!] Sometimes, at large gatherings, these containers are used to serve the pasta as well:

Don't worry, folks - I thought one was a pigs' trough when I first came to Sicily! [That shows what a countrywoman I am!]
Some of you were thinking of the kind of trays used for drying tomatoes to make 'strattu [tomato paste] but these are shallower:

Right, everybody happy? On we go!
Never would have guessed!
