This appears to be the 8 petal White Lotus which is better explained at http://www.harekrsna.de/Lotus-FLower.htm as a suggestion to the Indian nature of the item.

Nail and nail - hmmm. My guess is that it is Indian - but I must say that I am guessing.

Thanks for your input gentleman.
Anyone care to place this in an era?

I'm inclined to place it in the Nepal/Bhutan/Tibet area. Broad, of course, but it seems to me to be rather north and east of the earlier suggestions. West of China. (It has a taste of the Kazakh/Uzbek to it, but again, north of the earlier suggested locations. So, Silk Road sort of thing.)

I can't precisely state the basis of my guess.
