Spent a few days in Miami working at the Doral during a tradeshow where we exhibited. In the occasional downtime, took a few pictures. Forgive, my identification skills are completely nonexistant.

Sanks. New Orleans on Thursday.
!!Calling all anthropologists, art historians, phlebotomists, and ichthyologists!!
I picked this plate up at the Gulfport 3rd Saturday festival with all of aged hippies on Father’s Day weekend for $30. The lady selling it said it was steel, but it had a considerable amount of discoloration and oxidization which said it could be regular, but not stainless, though the color of it sits in between bronze and gold. Definitely smelled like steel when i was cleaning it.
It looks to be of Islamic origin per the etched patters. It looks like it could have been pressed instead of hand-etched and is about 24″ in diameter, about 2 inches deep and weighs around 25 lbs. It’s perched behind where my head rests and I hope it gives me dreams of ancient times on the Euprhates.
