It's Indian.
It reminds me these little bronze fishes. |

My bet, would be on it being a snuff (powdered tobacco) flask.

It may also be one of the many trinkets from the Victorian Period. Small metal purses, containers, etc. were all the rage back then. But they were usually from low grade silver. This container appears to be iron. (?)

As I said I think it's Indian and it's made of brass. You have hundred of them on the web. They are called Mughal powder flasks or perfume flasks. I don't know if they are old or not, but they have nothing to do with Mughal or powder flasks... |
