Looks exactly like Bali Tourist to me.

They produce a lot of silver-mounted stuff based on shells --- ashtrays, jewellery boxes & trays, pretty little cabinet objects. Plated brass is often used in more recent pieces or where the cost of silver would be too high.

I've been seeing similar stuff to this for the last 40 years.

Confirmation on origin might be able to be obtained by identification of the shell:- if its something that comes from the area around Bali, its odds on my guess is close to the mark.
