    Found this gorgeous hand carved plaque thrifting. It is solid wood and very finely hand carved. Measures 16 1/2" x 14". 20190301_160439_HDR-1560x1560fjeiofewprhgfphergh.jpg 20190301_160434_HDR-1560x1560jffjfjfjfjfjfjujuj.jpg 20190301_160451_HDR-1560x1560eghewy8gtyerjf.jpg Wondering where it is from...Mexico?

    The date on the plaque is of the signing of independence pact of Central American countries, like Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. The bird is quetzal which can be found in all of those countries, but is considered the national symbol of Guatemala.
