Sidewinder:

Have you received any other input about this?  I have a very similar piece.  In face, I'm wondering if it was made by the same person/company.  The motifs are very similar.  What I have found out is that this particular workmanship may be an art form called Najeon Chilgi.  Here is a website that explains it more:

I don't have an exact date on mine either.  Nor do I have an idea of its worth.  I'm still researching that.  Keep posting and maybe we can figure this out together.  Thanks!
