What is a wooden or metal stand in which spirits can be locked up whilst still visible called?
Sfc2003
It is called a Tantalus. It is named after a figure from Greek mythology who was punished by the Gods by being made to stand in a pool of water that receded when he tried to drink it and above him was a fruit tree whose branches moved out of his reach when he tried to eat the fruit. His name is also the origin of the word 'tantalize'.
The spirits in the stand could still be seen but the stand was made so that it could be locked preventing the servants from helping themselves, thus it was tantalizing.
