    Hoping someone can help me out with this cute little piece. It is only 1 1/4" across & 1 7/8" to the top.

    Where did the piece originate? How to describe the design cloisonne, guilloche or enameled?

    I am assuming this is a little lamb on the lid but is there any significance to the image with the palm trees, stars & moon? Possibly something to do with the birth of Jesus.

    Eh, the enamel work and motifs are just kind of of instantly recognizable, I see the pieces misidentified all the time (even in a reference book) - they've been around for at least a few decades, still in production in Rajasthan.

    Don't know if there is any significance to the sheep, have seen it before, and there are some Indian sheep with the streaks of color...
