Hi Akanthus,
Interesting old piece... Maybe a container for Blowgun Darts or suchlike?
The placement of the handle would suggest that it is not a storage container, but is designed to carry...

I think more likely a man as a bald head with a Que (pigtail) was common in early China. Just a thought.............

To me it looks as if he is walking along with a basket over his shoulder. From what I can see it looks very like baskets used for tea/tobacco picking so maybe the original idea that the knife is used...

Thanks for the reply Lee. Not Indian IMHO, though the decoration may be similar. The style is quite different from any Indian Ewers I have seen (or are shown on GOOGLE).
