I bought this decorative serving dish of sorts from a thrift store a couple years ago and just today after doing some dusting realized that it was tarnished silver, most likely plated cause I see some violet, and it has markings on it but I can’t figure out what they mean or where its from. I thought it looked Indian but I don’t really know.
There are three stamps side by side (actually it looks like one stamp but with three different images).
-
The first is an animal bust facing to the right. It looks like it could be a hyena, dog or maybe a lion with its right paw raised and its tongue sticking out.
-
The second is a crescent moon.
-
The third looks like a rooster (maybe a phoenix) facing to the left with wings or feathers (three feathers) raised on its back and three little one on its head (peacock maybe?).
Each one is outlined in a square as you see in the images. Sorry for the quality, I tried. I’m just curious as to what the markings mean so I know where its from and roughly how old.
