Purchased from a charity shop just because I liked the look of it.
It's the size and shape of an ash tray (4.1/2" x 3.3/8"x 3/8").
Has the appearance of being hammered out from a piece of impure or weathered copper to a 1/16 inch thick then trimmed to shape. Color black, green with the copper showing through.
There is symbol of a bird (in silver) with a raised eye affixed to the middle of the tray approx 1/32" thick.
Any idea's as to who made it or what it actually is would be appreciated.

Very nice - maybe from the 1960's or later?? Not sure but I've seen this motif also in Mexican arts and crafts.
