Description

All i can tell you is that it's brass, it's got uneven legs, like the elephants are "walking". the middle peacock screws off to allow you to open the 5 compartments under the small peacocks. I have no idea what it's actually for. Just thought it was cool.

Sorry, I have no idea what to ask, as I don't really know what it is, or what it's worth. That's why I was posting here! Hoping to get some input. :-)

Feel free to make an offer, though.

What you have is an incense holder/burner, that is most likely is from India and dates to the latter half of the last century, I haven't seen an identical one, but I have seen several similar ones, and they seem to sell right in the $50-75 range. Most of the ones I've seen have a slightly more rounded, six-sided lotus petal shape to them, and have six legs, so you might want to have it checked out by a knowledgable antiques dealer just in case it is a rarer, more desirable form.

Hi What you have there is a Chopra if you Google Brass Chopra you will see examples of it. It's used for holding spices but you can also use it for storing other items. They are available also on ebay. I have one and they are very handy, I keep earrings in mine. A friend bought mine back from India a few years ago. Hope that helps.
