Curb bit form the Louvre

Salve,
  I visited the Louvre Museum last spring and amongst the thousands upon thousands of art objects displayed there (imagine the many more thousands they have in their storage), I photographed this curb-bit, in Morisco fashion, from northern India, as far as I can recall, located in the section of the Museum dedicated to the Asian arts. Perhaps someone saw it there and could add some more info about this artefact.

ps
pardonez moi the quality of the photos, poor light inside and prohibition on the usage of  flash.
