<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 4612294, member: 10944"]If the piece was made in 1790 or 1970 I couldn’t pretend to know. It does seem to look newer though. India made tons of brass components I believe. They (Hindus) also use that symbol. According to the little blurbs here they use it on entryways/doors which I guess this could be called. Just a thought. No idea if it’s a good one, but it’s a thought. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also no clue if it has significance but the more vertical segment of the symbol on your piece is like two opposite L’s with the ends not being capped off with a line like on the other segment and on most of the symbols. Not sure if the way it’s composed has any meaning or if it was just applied haphazardly.[ATTACH=full]410426[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
