Bucket/Pail

Nice piece! Like the patina. I know the 'carouche' on the front looks Indo-Persian, but copper implements of Spanish colonial manufacture very much resembled this piece. Note the serpentine 'hooks' so similar to espada finials and knuckle bows. The simple line work and dot patterns also fit in. You can find SW colonial work like this ca 1850's-1920's buckets, pails, tea kettles etc.
That design in the front could just be decorative-
