Middle Eastern Antique Round Brass Tray
Located in North Hollywood, CA
Middle Eastern antique round brass tray.
The handcrafted circular brass platter is decorated and hammered with a Jewish Star and geometric designs.
Heavy brass plate with very fine hand chased floral and a six pointed star with geometric designs around.
Measures: Diameter 22".
Recently polished. Great decorative Folk Art collector piece.
We polish only the front of the tray, the back shows the patina overtime and the age of the tray.
The six-point star or hexagram is a simple geometric shape consisting of the intersection of two equilateral triangles. It is an ancient symbol that appears in many religions.
Probably the most well known hexagram is the Star of David, a major symbol of Judaism. Also known as Magen David or "Shield of David," the Star of David has been used as a decorative motif in Judaism since ancient times but it was only around the late middle ages that it began to be used as a symbol of Judaism and Jewish identity. A Star of David is presently displayed on the flag of Israel.
The Star of David is an important image to many Rastafarians. The symbol is connected to the connection between Queen...
