DIfficult to know. Where did you get it from?
If it beonged to former Thai royalty, then it will be worth a lot more in Thailand, I would have thought.
Are there not antique dealers/experts who can answer this?
This is the kind of thing that makes the Antiques Roadshow worth watching when you find out the price.
Can you post back here and let us know when you find out?

The trouble with something like this is authentication, unless you have the promenance from a respected authority it is just a curio. There is an industry in Thailand making 'ancient' Buddhist artifacts. Somdej wat Prakeaw is an important site and if proved to be genuine it will be valuable, good luck
