    This little thing *seems* to be made of a ceramic material, but I suppose there's a chance it is some sort of resin product instead, it feels (and sounds) like ceramic to me. Difficult to tell because the whole thing is painted (I guess, sure doesn't seem glazed?) gold, but for a few odd tiny spots where a very little bit of that has worn or flaked off, revealing something whitish underneath. Pic 4 shows it on the bottom along with the only mark on it, an ink stamped 7365. By the presence of the stamp I presume it has always looked this way, instead of something else that's fallen victim to gold Krylon along its line. A gentle fingernail to the flaked spots didn't chip it away any further. It is about 6-1/2" at widest, 2-1/4" at tallest. I don't have any idea if the symbol motif in its round section means anything, or is purely ornamental like the decoration all around its sides, or if in fact that section is intended to hold something else besides business cards.
