Clearly not the same quality, but the same idea identified as Dhokra: [ATTACH]...
It is a coiled basket, wool yarn over indeterminate fiber core. Perhaps African, but the shape and materials are not typical. There is a chance it...
It could be called embossed, or more specifically "blind intaglio". A 3-dimensional "plate" of some sort is prepared, and dampened paper is...
OK. The complex lines are characteristic of steel engravings (not a mezzotint), with perhaps a bit of aquatint on the right side of the 2nd photo....

Your photo is not quite detailed enough to see, but it looks like it might be a mezzotint. This was an intaglio (engraving) technique that could...
A larger, more detailed photo would be helpful. But it looks similar to a Tibetan mandala. Something like this (only much smaller): [IMG]...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] English Badger [ATTACH] English Hedgehog [ATTACH] Wild Boar OK, I will yield to the hedgehog. But definitely not a wild boar.
It seems if they meant it to be a boar they would have given it some tusks. ;)
Item 6, Crown Staffordshire sign - "strange beast" looks like a badger.
Googling "Girod etcher" turned up several early 19th century prints in the British Museum, with Claude Francois Girod-Lambert credited as the...
