    I found these 2 peices at my friend's thrift store today. The larger I thoght was Hindu, maybe, but when I did a google search on the signature(?) the first part came back as Bangladesh for God?
    Is it a signature (I've never seen a signature on ones like this I've found before)? Also there are 2 spaces (?); maybe 1 for title & the 2nd - which is empty - was for artist's name?
    Can anyone tell me what is says? With the people giving money/gifts to 2 men; maybe they're tithing religious leaders? (instead of a ruler or king, which would be 1 person right?)
    Where is it from?

    The 2nd, smaller one is signed Lewis (next to the Keith Haring looking figure!) - can anyone tell me which Lewis this is?

    PS - A 3rd one I got today was a limited edition "Bengal Family' by Mark King that I first thought was a Leroy Neiman!

    P-i-e-c-e-s. The easy to remember rule is "i before e except after c."

    I remember the rule - I've gotten lazy because spell check corrects it (usually) automatically or underlines it in red - I must have missed it​

    Thanks Kronos; notice signature is different size/place etc.. Do you think this is by a "school of" artist? It's mounted on board - how can I tell how old it actually is?
    Thanks again - I tried to image search a pic of the whole thing and got 'Fictional character' & a page full of different similar paintings ( fictional character - Google Search) - Great find; you have a good eye!

    PS - I think the original was a miniature, is that right?

    Ah... Well then, it appears that spell check is no freind of yours.

    Kronos - this is what I got:
    It probably underlined it in red & I missed it (like your freind above has a red line under it!)
