I am trying to find out the age and country of origin of an ornate silver basket that I have. It is 30 cm tall and the basket depicts an outdoor scene where two people are playing instruments while two others are dancing. This scene is repeated on both sides of the basket. There are 4 feet at the top of each is an angels head. The markings on the bottom are very faded. One looks like a leaf with 5 circles inside. The other mark could be either an angel with wings or a butterfly. Any ideas as to origin would be greatly appreciated.
