    The crescent moon and star suggest it may be Islamic.
    Turkey and Pakistan use the symbol on their flags, other than that I don't know.

    If it had a spout somewhere, I would think part of a street vendor's kit, for hot drinks.

    Dimensions please. Your pictures make it look very small, like a desk-top decoration.

    Further research finds its a doctor's zamzam water canteen. "Doctor Canteens for the Wounded Soldiers to Drink Zamzam Water to Provide the Spiritual-Psychological Support"
