Most unusual wood and sterling dish by silver master, William Spratling. It is hand carved from a dark wood (likely ebony or rosewood) with sterling dots and dashes. Measurements are 8 inches long x 4 1/2 inches at its widest. It is 1 1/4 inches deep. The bowl and silver might benefit from oiling and polishing but I leave that to the next owner. It is in excellent condition. The hallmark dates from 1956 - 1962.
