Absolutely cool, bold, a bit heavy, this rare and authentic antique tobacco container made in brass and copper still has not just the patina but also the residue of that white powder used to extract the active substances, as with the coca leaves on the South American Altiplano.
The origin is probably India, and it is stunning to have as decor coffee table conversation starter or as part of an antique's collection. It can even be worn as a focal element if you prefer pieces on the heavier side. 
It measures bold 125mm x 54mm no counting the bails. 4.91 inches x 2 inches approx.
