Stone Box, Nathional Museum of Archaeology, Mexico City, Mexico
It was the custom of the people of ancient Mesoamerica to store their valuables in stone boxes supporting the fact that Moroni built a stone box to bury the gold plates.
JS Hist 1: 51 … On the west side of this hill, not far from the top, under a stone of considerable size, lay the plates, deposited in a stone box.
