Looks like poor cast copy of 'souvenir spoon' such as made Europe/USA 1920s-1960s.

Top figures European. Why you think have any Asian Art connection?

Do internet search "souvenir spoon."

Good luck,
Cal

I am not an expert, but I have seen spoons like this as rustic show pieces here in German markets. They are somewhat "kitschy", as we feel. They are made of tin and mostly meant to
drink liquor from them, together with a big mug of beer. People with nostalgic feelings for old "peasant life" use to own them.
