<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hunter S., post: 3014204, member: 13033&quot;]Hello good people,</p><p><br /></p><p>I became an owner of this beautiful black lacquer wood panel (dimensions: 33cm x 22.5cm x 0.45cm ~ 13in x 8.85in x 0.17in).</p><p><br /></p><p>It has this beautiful drawing on one side (I am 99% sure that it is a gold paint) and on the other side it is completely black and it has some signs of age (barely visible but still visible signs - I can take a good photo of them if needed)...It has a small rip on one corner (I added a photo of that) that proves that it is wood...</p><p>I am just guessing that at some point it had a frame (or am I wrong - maybe it just had a stand)?</p><p><br /></p><p>My biggest problem is identification...I am confused...is this a French (or European) Chinoiserie or Chinese (Japanese) export panel...or is it rather something completely else?!</p><p><br /></p><p>The painting has a motive of bullock cart or ox cart with the lady sitting in the back (she doesn&#039;t look Asian!?) the &#039;driver&#039; on the other hand looks Asian...however I am totally confused as bullock cart decoration seem Indian (or am I wrong?!...maybe Sri Lanka?!)...but his hat seems like Vietnamese traditional one...I am totally confused...so please help.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]289713[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289714[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289715[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289716[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289718[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289720[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>All the best to you all <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie58" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> and a shout-out for the best forum ever!!!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie99" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie99" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie99" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I cannot wait to hear your opinions...<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie66" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie66" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie66" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
