    It might be a table top?, is there any writing on the back? "School of art jaypuor"

    I can't see much detail, let alone writing, but I wonder if it is a Parsi/Zoroastrian tray. Zoroastrian trays often have that layout.
    If so, any writing would be in Farsi.
    Farsi is the language of Iran. It is written in a modified Arabic script.
