This is a VERY rare and MAJESTIC piece made in INDIA, Glass has been blown inside a metal case also on the lid. Talked to some one from INDIA who was saying it might be a very large decorative container that holds nuts and fruit. IF its an INDIAN ANTIQUE they may have had it for decoration in the living room or kitchen.
It might of been considered a STATUS show up among the RICH community in INDIA, ASIAN, OR PAKISTAN COUNTRIES. Will be packed with a lot of protection.
Good condition, GREAT CHRISTMAS PRESENT! GREAT PRESENT FOR ANY ONE!
