Found a similar one on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/C-1850s-Turkish-Ottoman-Hand-Tooled-Copper-Plate-11-2-/300772313270?nma=true&si=vEhZ6RyzX8m2IrxSMsEfoJJvL%2BU%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Hope that works. I don't know if yours would be this old but possibly. It's an interesting piece :) At first I thought it might be from India but I think mart is correct that it could be Turkish.

I can't really make out the images along the edges. Are they feathers, and fish? Can't really tell. I don't think it's Native American either, although I can see how feathers might make an association.
