    Art.jpg Hello, stumbled across this forum when researching this item, I've still yet to find any thing that compares to it and would like to know if any one has any idea what this may be. The item is about 4 foot wide by 2 foot tall. Thanks in advance!

    It's a piece of tapa cloth. Someone with more knowledge than I will be able to provide additional information.

    It's Samoan, printed on a carved wood upeti board, rather than hand painted freehand.
