Antique silver Indian amulet box

Amazing, hand done decorations. Not sure where this amulet box is from. I could not open it and did not want to force it, as some one did in the past on the left side. It has a Makhara in the center panel flanked by birds. There is wonderful wear, especially at the sides of the tube where the piece was strung.
