    Another item that was included in the latest package I received :D

    Similar to this one:
    https://www.ebay.com/itm/276086751366
    but I haven't been able to find any silver marks on mine. There are a few bits that at the right angle, with the right light, and with a bit of imagination look like .90, but definitely not clear as the one on ebay.

    When I added this to the purchase, I thought it would be around 15 cm. Only after the deal had been done, I noticed that in one of the pics, the seller had placed the rabbit next to a pen to put things into perspective.
    Instead of a pen, here's my rabbit in the Berardos platter (see https://www.antiquers.com/threads/help-with-identifying-this-item-please.34737/page-2#post-502014 for more pics of that item) that also came from the same seller...

    A lot of these Cambodian animal lime boxes are made from base metal/plated metal. Looks like yours is too. There are buyers for the non-silver ones, but silver is more desirable of course.
