Indian-Made Metal Decorative Dish/Trinket Tray with Scroll Feet

This appears to be a decorative metal dish or trinket tray, likely made in India as per the provided context. The item is characterized by its elongated, somewhat boat-like or leaf-shaped form with a raised, undulating rim. The material appears to be a brass or bronze alloy, exhibiting a tarnished, aged patina with areas of darker discoloration and lighter highlights, suggesting it has not been recently polished. The overall color is a dull, earthy brass or bronze tone. Its construction includes a shallow, rounded basin for holding small items. A notable feature is the ornate, scalloped or scrolled edge along the rim, which adds a decorative touch. The base of the dish is supported by at least two, possibly four, short, scrolled or C-scroll shaped feet, which elevate the piece from the surface. The craftsmanship appears to be cast metal, with some visible irregularities and texture indicative of the casting process. There are no clear maker's marks or signatures visible in the provided images, but the style, with its applied ornamentation and aged appearance, is consistent with decorative wares from India, possibly from the mid-20th century or earlier, though without clearer markings or a view of the underside, a precise age is difficult to determine. The condition shows visible wear and significant patina, which could be considered desirable for an antique or vintage piece, or simply a result of age and lack of cleaning. There are no obvious signs of significant damage like cracks or breaks, though the surface appears somewhat uneven in areas. The quality of casting seems moderate, typical for decorative, mass-produced or semi-handcrafted items from the region.
