Agree with David, it's a later piece, I guess 1920 until 1930. But a very nice addition to any collection. And yes, it would benefit from better polishing.

Too bad about the dent but as Ian stated “It’s still a nice piece”.

I'd agree with this estimate.

An absolutely gorgeous piece.

I'd add that this could easily be Maranao based on the okir.
