Description
A heavy, solid vintage Egyptian silver tray with dense hand-engraved decoration covering the entire surface.

The wide border rim is scalloped and similarly engraved with repeating geometric and foliate motifs. The finish is bright silver-tone with the depth and patina consistent with age. Marked 900 silver on the underside. Measures approximately 11.75 inches in diameter and weighs 522 grams.
