A Silver Filigree Casket.
and another very similar example in the Dutch Museum for Comparison.
Bonham's Auctions, Lot 90 - 14 November 2023.
16 x 11.3 x 8.1 cms.
We now know that an attribution to Goa is highly unlikely
Hugo Miguel Crespo of Lisbon University assures me that there is absolutely no evidence of any filigree manufacture in Goa.
I can only discover one related casket which is in the Dutch Museums Collection.

size 5.5 x 11 x 7.8 cms.
