Tray

This octagonal brass tray comprises a flat octagonal base in the middle from which rise eight shallow sloping walls on the sides. The base and the walls are advanced with finely engraved decorative motifs- in the centre a pair of peacocks in landscape surrounded by a floral border and on the side walls ten ornate leaves symmetrically placed.
The tray was meant for serving sweets and dry fruits on special occasion in aristocratic homes.
