    It Looks To Me Like Some Sort Of African Serving Tray? It Is About 30 Inches in circumference. ( MAYBE MORE..I Will Have To Measure more Accurately) It Is VERY HEAVY, Wood! With Old Hardware. It Folds In Half & Has Intricate Carvings! Does anyone know what this is? Or Has anyone even seen one like it before? Thankyou.
