Is this spoon from India?

[Scrabble96]

This is a little scalloped spoon featuring a man's face where the handle joins the bowl. It looks to me like a man wearing a turban and with very big moustaches. It is 10cm long.

On the back is a hallmark - possibly in an Indian script - and what I believe to be 900.

Is there any way of dating this?

It makes me think more of an Italian object, although I don't seem to see any numbers and letters inside the truncated diamond in your spoon.
