This item is a vintage brass incense burner, about 6 3/4" tall. It has an ornate 3-footed base and the top has a star and crescent decoration. I believe this is an old Islamic or Ottoman symbol. There are holes in sets of three in both top and bottom portions. I don't know the age or country of origin, I suspect the Middle East, India or China. It needs a good cleaning. It has wear and quite a bit of tarnish.
