Old Damascus brass, copper, silver inlaid tray
Description

Huge round brass tray, inlaid with copper and silver, hand made for wall hanging or use as a tabletop. Intricate Islamic design, Arabic script. Diameter is 28 ½ inches. Very heavy, appx ten pounds. I bought this tray at the shop of George E. Dabdoub, in Damasus, Syria, in 1986. I have enjoyed the tray hanging on my wall ever since. Dabdoub is among the last of a once-thriving community of Jewish metal craftsmen in Damascus.
