    Decorative tray made anywhere from India to the Middle East; Iran might be a likely locale.
    Made anytime from 1950 to the present day, for sale to tourists and import/export shops.
    Value would be minimal, unlikely to be more than $50.
    Just my opinion.

    I can't sell stuff like this at all. Have offered similar in my shop under $20.00 and have no takers.

    . Brad, if you have any say 30" or so with verrry nice craftsmanship and a bit of age, I'm usually interested.

    Size makes some difference and we don't know size of the one pictured. The artwork on it is pretty crude.

    I don't have any that large. Usually can't buy them cheap enough. I think the largest I have is about 16" and bought it only because of the workmanship being superior and the price being right. I generally just pass most by these days.

    I've got two of these with no stands. I think 36 and 24 inches. No one even looks at them at shows.
