Brass has a wonderful texture. It is not a true metal is it? I think it is some sort of composite of two true metals. I have no idea, but I do like this mystery object.
Okay... I was first thinking holy water holder. But it also makes an attractive ash holder! I found this theme day rather difficult. Your choice was a good one. :)
I had to click VP, didn't recognise it without the rope haha! I seriously hope they don't still use it as an ashtray, it's way too beautiful for that purpose!!

I agree with Robert.
That's a decorative ashtray.
It sure is beautiful, VP.
It is beautifully crafted as is the door adjacent.

It's still beautiful, even without the rope.
How fascinating and beautiful. I'd not have guessed what it was. Great choice for today.
Well done, VP!
Too nice to be used as an ashtray!!!
I always admire this kind of work. No such things produced nowadays.

facsinating to see so much detail devoted to this habit. it is a piece of art though. interesting to learn what it is used for.

I guess it holds water outside a church for worship goers to mark the sign of the cross with water on their forehead....
Beautiful object, thanks for the link :)
I forgot about this detail but I surely remember the post because I really enjoyed it.
