Mystery Item-Silver ?

Mystery Item,Silver maybe (can't spy a mark & misplaced me loupe),tiny 3 5/8" tall,holes in top flower (but couldn't hold water). Can someone out there tell me what this is & perhaps where it came from ? Seen a billion earrings like this out there like this-India ? Thanks much.

 

Portugal?

 

Filigree but not earring.

 

For stick incense? That 3 shape looks like part of om & flowers might be stylized lotuses.

 

That's a possibility.

 

Small incense burner Portugal,thanks for the tips ? I like the OM reference,good catch.

 

It is lovely, but that filigree is not delicate and elegant enough to be Portuguese, and the slightly sloppy soldering isn't of Portuguese quality either.

 

Prob Indian ? It seems like I've seen a billion pairs of earrings like this at Fleas,etc.Are the dipped,plated or maybe silver ?

 

Yes, I'd say Indian, and it looks plated. I wonder if the shape is a letter in Hindi, or a Sanskrit mantra.

 

I think Your spot on w/ Hindi or Sanskrit,as we said back in the day-'Trippy piece man !'.

 

Thanks, I saw that too!
