Mysterious object

Duccio · 29th May 2020, 08:40 PM

I bought an item at auction, because I was curious and I didn't understand what it was.
Now I have it in my hands, but I still can't understand what the hell it is.
And I don't even understand which part of the world it comes from ...
I thought it was a work tool, but it seems to me that it is too richly decorated, even in a rather "delicate" way, with inserts in copper, brass, braided iron wire ...
Anyone have an idea?
