<p>[QUOTE="Bingamum, post: 4171600, member: 19618"]My area had a neighbourhood garage sale today and I picked up these 6 x 10 cm Chinese character pictures in a 16 x 19.5 cm frame (2.5 x 3.75 inches in a 6 x 7.5 inch frame) a dollar for both. The lady said she bought them in the early 80s at a garage sale. I took the plunge and purchased them then promptly took them home and took one to bits as I wasn’t sure if I had a painting or a print. It is definitely a painting and on what feels parchmenty but I suppose is rice paper. VERY delicate and fragile (the edge broke off). The cello tape holding the picture in place is discoloured and also fragile and the nails holding the back on are rusted. Not even sure what to call them to research. So… what do you all think? Worth the dollar? They are very sweet regardless and I will happily give them a home.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]333307[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]333308[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]333309[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]333310[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]333311[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]333312[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
