Thanks everyone for all of your input, thoughts and advice. This piece really has me stumped.

I saw this one in the attached pic listed in the MET collection. Attributed to Persia. Albeit the MET example has far superior gold damascene work. I felt that the lines were similar along the center, rib, as well as the profiles.
