    Rink, you have a great eye for art! Are you an artist?
    Apologies I cannot help you with this, but for the right price, it's very cool.

    Thanks antidiem! My mom got me into art when I was younger. I took art classes when I was in high school and in college. I was always drawn to anything art related and as years went on just kept riding the art train.

    LUCKY YOU! I like this print. It does look like an original woodblock and the red ink is lovely. Does the seller mention the weight of the paper, it appears to be heavy cotton, but difficult to see. Looks like a 1970-1980s frame.

    not Japanese wood block print. It is more like vintage Chinese print.

    If it is not a wood block, I would think it to be a linoleum print. It's difficult to see. The paper has no warping that I can discern behind the glass, so if it's not mounted, it's likely heavy paper.

    Thanks everyone! Probably will pass since it seems to be a decor print. They titled it as woodblock but they are probably mistaken.

    Agree with Any Jewelry; Guanyin Buddha, woodblock print, common piece. Have seen similar in HK, Macao (in private homes and public shrines, in shops and restaurants,) and also Lunar New Year temple fairs in mainland China.
