Rectangular tray with flowering plums and birds
Rectangular tray, long and narrow, with rounded corners. The tray has a dark brown background. The interior features a design of a flowering plum tree with white blossoms and birds, done in shades of white, gold, and pale green. The border around the design has a thin gold line. The outer border of the tray is decorated with a repeating floral pattern in shades of green, gold, and red, on a dark background. The tray appears to be made of a material with a glossy finish, possibly lacquerware. The background of the image the tray is sitting on is light gray.
