Container

A container usually means one of the following items: large box, chest, ice box, sack, oilskin sack or bag of holding. Note that even though bag of tricks is defined with the CONTAINER-macro in objects.c, you cannot put items in it.

A statue can also function as a container; this causes DYWYPI messages like, "The statue of the grid bug is empty." (end.c#line948) The contents correspond to the inventory of that monster before it was stoned.
