Little brass scalloped dish with winged lion

By Quintessentialeo, 23 August, 2011
Description

This is a really cool scalloped brass (I think solid) dish or ashtray with a raised impression of a winged lion (not a griffin) in the center.  The lion seems to have one front leg on a box in front of him. The scallops each have a design. Immediately on the left and right center and the center top scallop are is what appears to be a double sun. The center scallop under the lion appears to feature 2 pineapples (?) and the alternating scallops have a linear series of 7 raised dots that get progressively larger bottom to top. All of the designs are raised and on the back indented or stamped?
