A tray made of wood, with a metal inlay used for decoration. The centre of the tray has a geometric pattern, made up mainly of swastikas. The rim of the tray has more of a floral pattern. The underside of the tray has a fish in the centre, made of inlaid metal. There is a metal attachment, presumably used for hanging. It is unclear if this is originally part of the object. There is a label affixed with the number "304" on it.
