metal box
Iron storage cube
A metal box is a container made of metal, typically rectangular with a lid or opening.
The term is straightforwardly descriptive rather than a fixed expression—any box constructed from metal qualifies: a metal box for storing tools, an old metal box of photographs.
Metal boxes range from small tins to large storage containers and safes.
