Poetry & Literature
Actually from a text about an artist:
Son objetos sin otra utilidad que la de cumplir una función estética en escala mayor y menor cuando sus artilugios son, por ejemplo, cajas de sorpresas donde figuraciones violetas, azules y rojizas encuentran su palabra,
Is it "jack-in-the-box"?

mystery boxes
I've heard this used for boxes and box forms that had no utility but really you need more information or a picture.

jack-in-the-box
The clue is that the box contains a "figuración," which makes me think a jack-in-the-box is correct. I had one of these when I was younger. You turn the crank, which makes music, and eventually at the end of the song, the figure will jump out of the box.
