Antique Brass Relief Indian Ashtray in the Womans Cave


So I recently collected this antique brass Indian ashtray. This has a nice relief pattern with an image of the Taj Mahal in the background. It needs some polishing. But I kind of like the patina on the ashtray. Patina is the surface appearance of something grown beautiful especially with age or use . There is a such thing as good patina or bad patina. Some surface age just looks crappy while others have a certain nostalgic appearance. I think this makes a great addition to the woman cave. It's simple but also has a certain touch of elegance.
