Not for the first, or last, time, misread a picture. If those are tails, peacocks they are. Celebration of beauty over brains. One spring, when...
Walter's item has only the one square hole, which would not allow anything to twist. [Edit] What fit in the square hole would have to have a rod...
Think bottom rules out use for cooking. I see the other photo. What are we looking at?
Do they not have any native birds other than peacocks? I have to think this is something that gets around by flying more than walking.
Odd that it would say 'Sculp'? 'Inc.' is the more usual abbreviation to designate the engraver.

Thanks for all the great info above. I see jewellery identified as Sajen from time to time, & have wondered without knowing. What draws me to...
Anethyst & blue topaz & probably artisan made. The topazes are faceted; the amethyst is cut en cabochon.
I'm wearing a cameo pendant right now that is suspended in that same way. I know who cut it, so I know when it was probably set: first half of...
