This is a beautifully detailed Antique Oriental Shell Shaped Metal Trinket Pin Dish or ornament, which does show signs of wear, but is still a wonderful piece.
The picture depicts a raised rural scene with a female and two children, but I'm not sure what they are doing.
There are two raised shells on the bottom which combined with the base of the dish provide a stable platform.
I do not know which metal it is made of but it puts me in mind of pewter which has been plated i...n the past.
It weighs about 250 grams and stands approximately 2.5 cm high at the shell hinge side.
Please study the photos to satisfy yourself on condition and detail and please ask if you have any questions.
Thank you for looking and please take a look at my other items - I can combine postage.
