Vintage Indian Temple
I didn't know what else to call this interesting object that I found in an antique shop. It is great for display.

BEAUTIFUL!! The lower tier appears to be very nicely tooled leather. Correct?
jscott,
No, not leather but wish it was. TY!
well i am a nitwit in this , personnaly i think you have to follow the standard procedure, namely mandir versus jharokha design
i did,not know which part of India but the frequency tells me its nothern india, utar pradesh or rajastan
i don,t know the symbol, but if a ground plane has a symbol it,s a promising indication
hard to say if it is a coating of real brown bronze, probably it is coating
the seams are still nice, they are not hung out
relief is rather not a shallow incisio , because it is plating
i think you have done well, hard to date i am just guessing 50 or something , your guess is as good as mine
i wonder why they overplated it
apostata,
Thank your for telling me a lot more than I knew. I bought it because I loved it, without knowing a darn thing about it. Thank you also for the approximate age. I never thought that it was very old. I appreciate the time that you took in your great comment!
addendum for bronze i mean brass
