Demien88, I do believe that is a ornate Tinder (not the edible kind) Container!  Now, if it is newer, it could be made in the likeness for nostalgia.  Good Job Rauville!  But, hit the nail on the head!!!!  Coud be Turkish or Tibetan.

There were all kinds available...from sterling to white metal. These were from the time before you had lighters.

Tnx that helped I thought same thing about age of it. I ran into some people that were working in museums they culdnt figure out
witch century it is from they were all around from 16 to 19 but they guest same thing about origin Turkish. Decorations
seems way difrent on that one but you never know.

He is "troll" I just canot belive somone that old have that much free time on his hands and to behave like little child....
Anyways waiting for some "profesionals" to get back to work so I can take item there and find out somthing new.

I think Rauville and KC have both shown you toward the right area. A Central Asian ( old Ottoman Empire / Tibet etc ) case or purse of some kind.


This was silver, better made and much more desirable

That is a very cool item.  I thought it was like a little purse at first.  You could use it as a nice pendant too though.

I just returned from museum they said its from 17 or 18th century indeed it is gunpowder box that used to be worn
more likley on belt. Those thingies on belt are made of silver the box alone is bronze. They also said
that they got similar items but in realy bad shape. Still have to wait for complete indetification from capital city.
And "ruby" on top is still unknown idk is it real or not will try to indetify it aswell. Tnx on find of that gunpowder box
