    Description

    This is a rather unusual souvenir from the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago.  It appears to be a sort of terra cotta or pottery disc, with a tiny ribbon embedded on one side.  The front has the name and date.  The back design, which is slightly more defined in real life but still faint, has a building with onion domes, like you would see on a church in Russia or even like the domes on the Taj Mahal, representing a building at the fair.  It says Fazl-Tarik at the bottom.  The disc is 1 1/2" across and about 1/8" thick.
    Condition is good.  The designs/lettering are faint from age and handling, and there are a couple of tiny chips around the edges.
