Japanese metal/mixed metal Oni tray

Picked this up today. Wanting to nail down era. Early 20th? Late 19th? More modern? Not signed anywhere I can tell. Try not to ask too many value based questions but wouldn’t mind some help here. Good ask price? I’ll probably end up keeping it but just in case I get the impulse to put it up I’d like to know.
Spoon for scale since I had it laying there from same sale.

 

Wonderful, whatever it is ...

 

Are you thinking it's silver and other metals? Is the Gorham/Crankshaw spoon demitasse or teaspoon size?

Looks like a copper tray with plating.

 

I think maybe just a different finish on Oni. Not sure it’s actually different metals, mixed metal is just what the seller called it, that’s why I worded it metal/mixed metal because it doesn’t seem “mixed” to me. The spots of heavy wear you can see it seems to be all copper. Oni may have even been fully plated at one point and just worn down now. You can see the flowing fabric/tassels whatever they are are still partially “plated”.

Spoon is teaspoon.

 

Yup! Seller called it mixed but I think they were just throwing the term around.

 

Oh yeh also does anyone know what’s in his hands and what the designs around him with a line and circles on the line are?
