<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 9851535, member: 8267"]I cannot find another close comparison. The one shown on carters is virtually identical, which at least indicates that they were made in multiples. I agree that it was probably made as a decorative item, and I think India is also the best guess. Such objects can be difficult to identify because they may combine motifs and materials in non-traditional ways. For example, the pattern of the feathers on top reminds me of art from Borneo, but they are not known for metal work of this sort.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
