Lid

 
Wikipedia: Lid (container)
Lid of a mint box

A lid, also known as a cap, is part of a container, and serves as the cover or seal, usually one that completely closes the object.

Lids have been found on pottery dating back as far as 3100 BC.

The word is used metaphorically, as in "keeping the lid on the secret".
