Description

I have been given several Middle East trays  but I am looking to appraise just one. Please see the pics enclosed. My father was given this tray from a Saudi Prince when he was a Naval intelligence Officer in Saudi Arabia in the 1950's. The age of this particular tray is unknown, but I have been told it is from Iran..That is all i know about it.   Thank you for your time.
