An irregular oval silver tray features a hammered surface surrounding a smooth, shallow central basin. A broad rim with wavy, scalloped edges is adorned with raised floral designs. Toward the top left, two budding flowers with long, sweeping stems extend toward the center. Another pair of buds mirrors this arrangement at the bottom right. Dark tarnish accents the textured rim and the organic, flowing lines of the metalwork.
