    Welcome to the forum Yashini. I'm no expert but personally I'm not seeing any Muslim influence. Oddly enough it looks more European to me but that's just me. Could we have some pictures of the handle brackets? The way they are attached may provide some more clues.
    Cheers
    Stephen

    Hi Stephen,
    thank you for the warm welcome! I actually do quite agree with you. Perhaps I have been seeing a lot antique from the Muslim culture and must have overlooked this! thanks! here you go. IMG_9349.jpg

    Although I have never seen a pail like this before, the style of decoration could be Persian.

    I'm thinking Indian, but the two overlap. The Indians made decorative pieces like this for the Western market and still do. They put a tin or whatever layer over the copper and then remove some of it. The pieces are supposed to look like really old ones without actually fooling anyone.
