because this part appears to be bent inward.





I think if it were straightened out.
something like an ash tray would set in top.
however it 's a bit short for a floor stand ashtray.
and too tall for a tabletop ashtray.

I also think the Subject matter would attract someone
more likely to own an Incense Burner.
so the more I see it, The more I lean that way.
and believe there was a tray for incense on top
