Unbelievably, I found this one at the Goodwill, tossed in with the common Asian baskets. It has the center plug of cotton cloth that komo...
Most wedding baskets used by the Navajo have actually been made by Southern Paiute and Ute weavers. They are made of Rhus trilobata (squawberry...
Just another twist - it can be difficult to interpret likely colors in 19th century photos. Though all are black and white images in this period,...
One thing you might try is looking behind the photograph. Sometimes there are pieces of paper hidden there, with information about the sitter....
OK - the 46th South Devonshire Regiment of foot served in the Crimean War in 1854....
I am assuming the 46 might mean 46th regiment, hence my disappointment at not being able to find an example of a uniform from the 46th to confirm.
The uniform also resembles this one from the British 45th Regiment of foot Sherwood Foresters (but I can't find examples from the 46th regiment) -...
Links to the similars you found might be helpful. If there are metal hinges (it is unclear from the photos) they could also be useful.
This is somewhat similar, referred to as a "tray top tea table", 1950s, 25" high - [ATTACH]...

How tall is it? from your photos it looks quite short, like a coffee table height.
It does look like Mayan glyphs, but I can't tell if they are accurate and actually say something. It seems awfully fresh/clean. It makes me wonder...
The Battle of Stonington was in Connecticut in 1812. The photographer (the stamp on the postcard) appears to have been in Rhode Island. Do you...
You could have told us it was on a painting in the beginning.
There was a Northern Cheyenne named Rising Sun that took part in the Battle of the Little Bighorn (1876). Don't know if it might the same one....
J. Troquet...
It is not a style I recognize. I think a good first step would be to identify the type of stone used. Is there a museum or university nearby with...
No, I just selected that one as an example of the iconography of Cai Shen.
Very interesting figure. I would not be surprised if he is 19th century, and may represent Cai Shen, Chinese god of wealth and prosperity....
I assumed that was what you were referring to when you mentioned the "wood detailing". ;)
