The Copper Box
A thorn-patterned box that holds Jorg Ancrath's worst memory.
The Copper Box is a magical box in Mark Lawrence's The Broken Empire trilogy, used to hold minds, memories, powers and other magic. Patterned with thorns and without lock or latch, it is large enough for a child's fist but not a head.

Facts from the source article.
Background
It came from Red March, where it belonged to Garyus, and passed through Luntar of Thar to Jorg Ancrath. Luntar used it to hold Jorg's memories of accidentally killing his half-brother Degran, poisoned by Sageous's dream-magic. Jorg did not open it for four years; the Builder data echo Fexler Brews also used it to bind the necromancy and fire-magic that were pulling Jorg apart, and it hid other memories, such as his first meeting with Miana. Jorg broke it during the Battle of the Haunt.
