Mother of pearl Persian hunting scene
I don't know who made it, it is in very good condition. It was bought from an antiques shop in Syria 20 years ago. It has beautiful lustre that I was unable to capture in the photos below.

Dear Tracy,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a scene from a polo game painted on a shell on canvas with 2 inches measurements. Such scenes and artworks are typical of Persian and North Indian art. In this case, this piece was made in the 20th century as a souveniur.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 20 to 50 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
Gregory
