Found in a curio cabinet
Found this while cleaning out a curio cabinet. Knowing my family history, I wouldn't be surprised if it is Indian in origin, especially with the cobra (but I cannot confirm, there don't appear to be any makers' marks) It's about 12.5cm/5" tall. The snake is definitely just decorative, I assumed the egg was some kind of incense burner with the holes in the top, but, if there is a way to open it I haven't found it.
