    I purchased this object at a yard sell, where the family was selling off items from the estate of an avid world traveler. I am hoping that someone from the CW family can help me with any information on the piece. It looks to have Persian symbols.

      Thank you so much dav2no1! You are absolutely right and I was way off thinking that it was Persian. I really appreciate you...
