A Zulu wood-carved tray or platter in oval form ending with a handle on each side. The platter stands on four legs and has designs in relief on the back. Superb patina!
This well-carved and used tray shows much handling and good age. It is carved in a single hardwood locally found. Such trays were used with great formality to serve meat (especially goat and cattle) during various rituals and in special events like weddings . Most of them are beautifully embellished with motifs in relief because they were also used as lids for other platters.
