    I picked up these today for 7 euros. I think that the dark metal container is one of those ashtrays made out of an African bracelets, but I'm not sure. The other item is a small copper pail. I think it's interesting how it's constructed and definitely looks like it has some age to kit
    Your thoughts?

    There is a specific name for the tab construction of the seam and base.This type could have been made even within the last 20 years at a number of countries like India,etc.

    Darn :( I've never seen it made like this before, so I had assumed it was old.

    Pleasure! I seem to remember there was another thread with more Dhokra bangles, but I could only find this one.
