Solid brass vase, looks egyptian?

[rootdigger]

Got yer thinking caps on? here's a nice lil solid brass vase, looks hand-made, wieghs right at a pound. stands close to 4 inches, base is 2 inches in diameter, mouth is 2 1/2 inches in circumference. widest part is 4 inches. looks like the figures on it are some sort of ancient soldiers on horseback with swords attacking each other. No idea on all them fancy designs all over it! seamed down the middle and soldered together. Any idea on an age and origin would be greatly appreciated.

I would say this one is Middle-Eastern or perhaps Indian (India)...

The big casting line means that this one was probably cheaply cast, and less than 40 years old. I'm guessing Pakistan.

I'm also guessing India. They have a huge brass industry based on melting down old WW2 shell casings. Some of the work is exquisite, some is rather crude. I would say it's worth under $100.
