    No markings at all on this one. It’s been rode hard and put away improperly. About 2’x3’. Looks similar to Inuit stone or wood cuts. Not sure how much Inuit used snakes in their art. I don’t think it was common but I can find at least two examples to show that it’s not unheard of. Anyone think it’s something else? 044C6F86-A6E4-4538-94AD-F41B2EA4B15B.jpeg BC89BF92-35A1-48D2-B8A9-2974B61FA168.jpeg

    Snakes and swans, a bit Celtic/Viking influenced. A lino cut?

    That was my first thought, LOL. The tails look like fallopian tubes to me.

    I think it is a lino-cut or some similar printing process. I don't think it's tribal, but an individual art work, but that's JMHO.

    Lollll! We only get one go around I suppose. Now that you mention it……Can’t unsee it once you’s see’s it. It has been a while since I’ve looked at my grade school science book. I’d like to think I may have noticed the similarity myself otherwise. We need to get you on incognito mode!

    Lino a definite possibility. ID’ing print techniques isn’t my strongest suit.

    Not a male gyno that transferred to med out of art school after a couple years? Life influencing art. Yeh tends to be ladies that celebrate artistically in this way more I suppose.

    Adjective. ridden hard and put away wet. (idiomatic) Mistreated; not properly cared for.

    Put away wet is a success in Scotland I think.
