for putting perfume inside?
is it magnetic? looks alot like gold, it doesn't look plated or gold filled.

actually it cant be for perfume, its not cutout like I though, so ill guess its for storing opium or something of the like

It is an upper-arm amulet holder (bazuband) from Persia.

18-19 century is a safe guess
