    It does appear to be made of "metal" but not copper-colored in the bigger picture - more "silverish" and perhaps aluminium. The closeup pic is too dark to know. No markings at all?

    I think it could be from Borneo. Those pierced borders are seen a lot on Borneo brass.
    The motifs are reminiscent of Dayak carvings and beadwork. This could be inspired by antique pieces, and given a Dayak touch.
    Given the verdigris (green stuff) it contains quite a lot of copper, so a brass-like alloy makes sense.
