I added a picture of an older and more original shibriya of the same origin just for comparison. Look at the differences in shape and details.

Motan,

Thank you for posting the example of a traditional shibriya. I have had one in my collection that I always thought was mid-20th century made for local market. Would you (or anyone else) be able to provide comments on the item pictured below?

Much obliged
