Help with item from Persia
« on: November 01, 2014, 05:19:53 am »
I bought this years ago in an antique shop and I was told it is from Persia and it might be a herb measurement tool like for saffran...

Can someone tell me more about it?

Thank you so much!

Kind regards,
Mary

Hi, I do not know what this is, but the numbers and the latin letters under the crown make me think it does not come from Persia.

I agree with Mat.

Can you please write out what is written all the way around it?
Also, please post dimensions of the piece?
