Hello Ken,

These come in widely varying qualities with a lot of late Qing to Republican pieces (most of which likely served as decorative items).

Some more close-ups, especially from the junction of the cross-piece may help our specialists to give more detailed comments.

Regards,
Kai

Such objects, fastened with rivets and washers made of copper alloy, were most often found in southern China.
