Moroccan Gifts
Judaica
Grapes with leaf tendrils embellish this heavy older Pesach tray at the center of which is a continuation of the floral element in the form of a large star of David. Andalusian design most likely from Fes. We brought it back from a family in the north of Morocco. Highly polished brass. (19" diam.)
J754 Grape Motif Tray $190
Gorgeously crafted open-work rim and scalloped edge. This delicate design and heavily patinaed brass tray has seen over half a century of constant family use. Six stars of David form the center ring and the entire outer rim is a series of contiguous khamsas each inscribed with a miniature star of David. Seven miniscule breaks in the outermost part of the rim are barely noticeable but attest to the age of this fine and rare design. A truly special piece for collectors. (21 1/2" diam.)

From Marrakech or Essaouira. 10 1/8"
