Thanks everyone for all the responses so far!  The stand is made of wood - again, I'm not sure what type...it is very lightweight.  Maybe bamboo?  I'll have to take more pictures and post.  Thanks!

Antique Questions Forum / Mystery Item - Please help identify!

I have an item that appears to be an urn.  I'm not 100% sure though so I thought I would ask around to see if anyone might know anything about this piece.  I think the designed on it look Egyptian.  There is an inscription on the neck which appears to have been added to personalize the piece and there is a touchmark on the bottom.  Any info would help - such as what it is, material it is made of (it's really heavy so maybe some type of iron), age, origin, etc.  Thanks so much!
