Here's a thing. I think it is probably just something decorative that you put on a desk, and you put pens in the little concave part in the front.
My question though, is who is it for? Like, what organization or group? It's a piece of black marble, and the parts are all die-cast metal. Solid and heavy. The guy is wearing a turban, robe and scarf, holding a short curved sword. At his feet is a rifle. There is an urn, some books and a hookah on the floor. On the table, which opens on a hinge, is a box of cigars, a teapot, and a decanter. The painted patterned rug is also made of metal.
My brother found it in the trash in Washington Heights, the northern tip of Manhattan, and gave it to me as a birthday present.

Both his words and manner of speech seemed at first totally unfamiliar to me, and yet somehow they stirred memories - as an actor might be stirred by the forgotten lines of some role he had played far away and long ago.
