Embossed Silver Betel lime box from Indonesia

Hi guys, just wanna share some of my uncle's antique here.

it is an Embossed silver betel lime box from Indonesia, it has around 8 cm in diameter, my uncle said it is from middle 1800s Sultanate of Gowa in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. But I'm not really sure, it could be older or could be younger, since it has fish and leaves embossed on it. During the 16th-17th century it was said it was the best era of the sultanate of Gowa, their agricultural harvest and their fishery was at their highest, so probably this box was made during that era. Just my guess after doing a bit of research.
