Looking at it again - the interior base is worn, so something has been mixed/ ground there over a period of time. What about a utensil for preparing "paan" ? This is a leaf wrapped over various ingredients used in betel chewing with lime and so on... (throughout South East Asia).
What's the dimensions ? Regards Colin |

19.5cm long including terminals. 11cm wide. 5.25 tall to highest point. Quite a heavy 408.8g. Would preparing paan involve pouring the juice off? Best Gene |

Seems like the spout side is a turtle the other a pig. So you should search for themes under folklore .

Reminds me of Maya turtle symbols I've seen. Cast silver is common in Mexico.
