This is a really cool scalloped brass (I think solid) dish or ashtray with a raised impression of a winged lion (not a griffin) in the center. The lion seems to have one front leg on a box in front of him. The scallops each have a design. Immediately on the left and right center and the center top scallop are is what appears to be a double sun. The center scallop under the lion appears to feature 2 pineapples (?) and the alternating scallops have a linear series of 7 raised dots that get progressively larger bottom to top. All of the designs are raised and on the back indented or stamped?
Three drawer low-boy dresser with veneer inlays in drawers. No idea time period, value or maker. Drawer was marked with what looks like a typeset burn c. shultz.

I do not know if these are antique or not. I just want to find out what they are. I found them while cleaning out my Uncle's bar a few years ago and unfortunately he is not around to tell me about them or where he got them. They look as if they could be used for brandy or small shots. At first I thought they were candle holders but the bowl on top of the figurines head looks more like something you would sip out of. If anyone could help and let me know what they are it will be greatly appreciated.
