Betel Nut Lime Container

This is an antique bronze betel nut lime container.  I bought this from a villager outside Phnom Pehn in 1994 when I was there as part of a diplomatic mission soon after the US reopened their embassy to Cambodia.  It's hard to date these but the old lady said it belonged to her grandmother.  May be late 19th century or early 20th century. The casting is good but somewhat primitive as expected.  It has plenty of patina from age and use but has no damage.  5 1/4" tall
