I would love to have some input on this old silver repousse and chased box that I have. The mark is foreign.. possibly Indian sansrkit or Persian? It looks like solid silver and the design looks Indian, but I don't know. I would appreciate any information that anyone out there might be able to offer.

Thanks,
Lisa

The box is typical of pre-WW2 Persian work. The stamped mark is the maker's mark, as official hall marking did not commence in Iran until 1967.
