It has an underwater sea theme with hand inlaid turquoise and orange colored fish. The abalone shell in the reef design gives off an iridescent appearance. The label says this tray is made of genuine coral/abalone/seaweed which was collected by skin divers in Monterey CA. The tray is in great condition, some minor surface wear through-out...it has a slightly lighter smudge mark in the upper right corner, but can only be seen under certain lighting conditions (shown in photo 3). My item will come to you from a smoke free home.
