Russian marks?

When I posted a request for help with maker's mark, the single reply suggested that the piece was Russian. Thus, I'll try again with hopes for a more certain reply! Thanks.
That is an interesting piece you have there.
It's highly baroque and it shows some good (not great) workmanship.
My advice is to take it to Christies or Sothebys as I can't make good sense of the marks.
You might have a 17th century piece or a 19th copy (most likely when i see the motifs).
Let us know the outcome.
