Hello.
Size not understand by photo.
The material of your item is bronze or brass.
It reminds me of an object to grind in it
We call stupa

I Figure out this to be true.

Now one day his friend took the grinder stick and left the owner with the pot only....and he never came back. the owner of the stupa was very sad after being cheated by his friend.

Another person came and took a chunk of the pot...if you look properly on the top of the pot there is a mark that a part of it was cut out. after his mission (probably analysis and selling of the chunk) he went back to the owner of the pot and told him he would sell the pot for the owner and they share the money!!!
the owner felt pain as they had already gone with the grinder stick and never came back...now they will take the pot as well, "there is gold in it" and looks like valuable stuff

Ideally there is a certain amount of gold in it.

? ? ? - Its not "brass mixed with copper".

You cannot have brass without copper...

Brass IS made using 67% copper... And 33% Zinc.

Although... copper may range from 55% to 95% by weight, with the amount of zinc varying from 5% to 40%.

IF bronze... it would be around 88% copper and 12% tin.

Bronze may also contain manganese, aluminum, nickel, phosphorus, silicon, arsenic, or zinc.

Lots of Appreciations.

Basically the apparatus and knowledge to separate these elements is still a problem and leads to our lack of know how,

Here we have all those listed mineral ores but most miners export them to the developed nations as raw materials including Pyrite, Coltan, Galena, Graphite and so on.

Thank you.

will keep you posted
