    Had these about a million years ago. Asking just because I haven't asked anything in a long time.

    These are Marcy Prints - block printed on a coarse material like burlap. They show native American subjects, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Just wondering if anyone knows. I couldn't find similar online back then, and not finding anything now. Print size was about 9" by 13".

    Some sense of who Kalvak was, but not showing prints on cloth like this. Maybe this should count as a reproduction? Maybe someone got a bargain. As I recall, they sold to someone in NYC, and not for much.

    These are just decorative things with indigenous themes sold in the 70's AFAIK

    I guess it's possible someone took a couple of place mats and framed them. That would account for "Washing instructions included."
