Rather than a central medallion it uses concentric rectangular bands, each carrying a different motif, working inward from a turquoise vine on the rim to a fine saffron arcade at the core. The composition is drawn from Swati painted door and chest panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright red ground with four concentric rectangular bands, each in a different motif\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIvory and saffron leaf scrolls with black berry accents form the widest band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner band of black and turquoise foliate scrolls framing a saffron arcade panel at the centre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurquoise and saffron vine border on the rim with ivory pinstripes and cut-out side handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 x 12 inches (20 x 30 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seasoned solid wood with hand-painted oil finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glossy, sealed, waterproof oil-based paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tea and coffee tray for one to two, entryway key and wallet tray, bathroom and vanity organisation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-wash with mild soap, dry immediately, avoid dishwashers, soaking, and abrasive scourers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is a banded composition?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstead of a single focal motif, the panel is divided into nested rectangular frames, each filled with its own repeating pattern. Swati artisans use it on architectural woodwork and carry it over to trays and chest lids.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes the red fade in sunlight?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eReds are the most light-sensitive pigments in any palette. Kept out of direct sun the colour is stable for years. On a bright windowsill it will soften faster than the blues or blacks in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs this tray suitable as a gift for someone with a minimal interior?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe banded design is more graphic and less floral than the medallion and lattice trays, so it reads closer to a geometric textile. It is often the pick for buyers who want colour without a busy floral field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow deep is the raised lip?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rim stands roughly 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the panel on trays in this size, enough to stop cups and small objects sliding off without making the tray awkward to load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHandcrafted in Swat Valley, Pakistan.
