Hi all,I put this in metal because I doubt its silver. This thing is 3 inches tall,2 wide,and Ive searched forever and have no idea what it is! I think those are little monkey faces in the stem,so Im thinking maybe African ? Always appreciated.
I must have attached to something else on that end. With that side up it sort of looks like a goblet.
Its not steady with the wide side up and it looks a tad worn in the cupped part? To me it looks like an upside down goblet. I thought maybe it was to hold something like a glass sphere.
The shape seems to be based on a Peruvian Inca pottery form - perhaps it is a souvenir miniature? https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/310520
Not that you need more proof than @2manybooks gave, but I found this. Don’t ask about the link, long pdf, .
