Instappraisal did an appraisal of a similar item here https://instappraisal.com/appraisal/star-david-375-engraved-copper-plate
A search of Copper tray Star of David will bring up several on eBay though in the Muslim culture I think it’d be called the Seal of Solomon.

Re: Large Antique Copper Tray
Trays like this have been made for the Tourist market in India, South East Asia and the Middle East since the Turn of the 19th Century. Most we see today were purchased in street bazaars between World Wars One and Two (1918-1939) and brought back as souvenirs. Similar trays are still in production, so values tend to be modest for all but the most unique and large examples. most sell for under $100.00.
