vintage Noritake desert sands landscape scene hand painted china, miniature vase

Art deco vintage Noritake china vase with a scene of the Sahara, possibly Egypt? This shows palm trees and Bedouin riders on camels, not sure of the symbolism of the running wheel (a three legged star or triskalion?) in the sand.

The vase measures just 4 1/4" tall overall. It's in very good condition, no chips, cracks or any particular wear to the paint.
