Solution

Gold leaf electroscope
It is a type of electroscope that consists of two gold leaves that are used for detecting the electrical charge of the body and for the classification of its polarity.
A gold-leaf electroscope is enclosed in a glass case so that the gold leaves are protected from the air.
This also helps in capturing the charge leak through the air so that the sensitivity of the instrument can be increased.
Hence the jar of a gold leaf electroscope protects the gold leaves from the air.
