<p>[QUOTE="Ce BCA, post: 3764507, member: 18716"]Interesting, the mask heads look most like Balinese types to me (Indonesia). Looks like it has some age, quite possibly early 20th century but these items are difficult to date. All across SE Asia such items were variously made in high and low grade silver, silver plate and silver substitutes like white brass. You would need to test it to get a id on the metal. The green residue in the top left round may be suggestive of copper content, so white brass (or low grade silver), or may just be from solder.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
