    Found this today for 50p :-)
    After nearly a half day of searching I've found a similar one on the web... & I'm hoping it's the same age :-)
    The one on the web (pic 4) is virtually the same but instead of ganesha it has a peacock finial .both are roughly the same size..
    The one I have has Ganesha finial & Ganesha images on all the lids .here's what it says on the write up -
    A beautiful late 19c bronze Islamic Mughal Indian cosmetic container featuring a wonderful warm patina . Divided into 6 yoni shaped compartments with a peacock finial securing them , the peacock finial lifts out & one or more of the compartments can then be opened .
    In excellent condition , measures 4" diameter when closed -
    $675.00
    I'm hoping but not holding my breath !!
    I'm sure it's bronze - it looks old & has a cool patina - the Ganesha finial lifts out to open the six ganesha imaged lids -
    I know nothing of these items , just saw it thought it was strange/different -seen it was bronze and most important which is why I buy anything I loved it !!
    Thanks for looking :-)
