Does anyone recognize this wood tray?

Hi there!

I've come across this fabulous tray and was wondering where it came from. So far guesses have ranged from a mid-century Peruvian folk art souvenir to a groovy 70s American craft project.

The base is a light-weight wood painted red with the main design done in what looks like tape. It's pretty intricate work, and I haven't been able to find anything similar online. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

 

Id guess mexican 1960s-70s tourist tray.

 

Thank you!

 

Thank you! This is definitely closer than anything I've turned up so far. The design isn't carved, but it could be lacquered.

Yes, Mexican lacquer from Olinalá. Like this box:

it doesn't seem to be a typical Olinala design

 

Olinalá ware is typically carved with a shallow relief surface.

It's just plain red

Ah, well, there you go.
