Looks like half hard Copper to me from the photo ! If you can find any data on the piece post that as it will help.
And it could be something that was homemade and that would make it hard to ID.

Looks copper in the picture & seems to copy an older style, but my gut says 20th C Better pictures could help someone, but pots are not really my thing

Copper is a vessel of Carthaginian or a fake .... I say this type of decoration and reresentan animals, the Carthaginians were the only ones who used elephants. all animals are Africans and Carthaginians were African.
But it could be a fake.
