    Found this on an auction site and am wondering if anyone knows what it is . . . The description is, “Framed Medieval Theme Art”. Just doesn’t seem correct to me.

    The frame measures 42” x 24”. 417A419E-96ED-440C-96FC-69312DCEA279.jpeg

    I agree that’s a interesting but odd description. At first glance the obvious thought is belly dancing..

    I was thinking Barbie doll homebrew.(LOL) But it does look like a face mask.

    It appears to be an Egyptian Sinai Bedouin woman's face veil.

    Yes, I zoomed in to confirm they’re coins, with what appears to be middle eastern lettering but that was also a guess.

    No, I didn’t purchase-a friend was asking if I had a better description but I was clueless.

    Any suggestions what I should tell her if she’s thinking of buying? This type of item is way outside my skill set. At a minimum, if she wants it as art, I can tell it needs to be re-matted (looks like some mold spots at the bottom).

    A friend of mine had one framed just like that. He got it from southern Palestine/Israel.

    Certainly makes more of a statement than a KN-95 surgical mask!
