Default Antique ottoman... ehm... something

I think ottoman mid 19th century, maybe older. Nice piece, a somekinf of dish maybe?

Hope that someone give a clue what that is and what it was used for.

Thanks!

It looks like it has a cap, is it some sort of container? The top part looks like a shield/buckler.

It can be called "sahan" which is used to bring hot meals to table,and then to serve it.Ring is to lift the cover but it can be buckler or not??I vote "not"
