Decorative glazed tray with an antelope design and animal print, with side handles, crafted from light and stained wood.
The tray features a circular central design of two antelopes in a natural setting, with trees and bushes. On the sides of the circle are carved stripes with a mottled animal print.
It is made of dark-stained wood, while the circle of the carved design is made of light and shaded wood, except for one of the antelopes.
In addition to serving or carrying objects, it is a decorative piece in itself and can be displayed on a table or piece of furniture. We can classify it as part of the Art Deco style thanks to the stylization of animal forms, as well as the tendency toward geometric backgrounds. See less
