    I bought this online, something about it, fascinated me. I have no idea what it is or what it is or was used for. It is oval and measures 3" long, 2" wide and 1 & a half inches deep. It is very heavy for it's size. Not even sure if it is brass. Anyone know anything about this? Thank you

      From India, another there:

      But I doubt it is a trinket box... rather for make up or spices or betel!
