There have been unfortunate side effects of restrictions on feathers. Some people have modified ethnographic objects to make them sellable by...
There are important elements missing - what was in his hands, his ears are gone - which makes it more difficult to identify him. But he has many...
I don't recognize them as a traditional form from anywhere, so it is hard to say where they are from.

I think it is Korean (based on the hairstyles and head gear). They appear to be threshing rice. Are you sure it is a lithograph? It seems it...
It looks like the green stems of the flowers were created with machine zig-zag stitching. That would be one reason to create the cover in small...
