[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4528511, member: 84"]These are 2 of the pieces I found today at a local thrift store (along with a signed Lalique vase (but bottom edge is chipped)! Is the Erte hand signed? It doesn't look like a plate signature? Does anyone know the name of it? It appears to have some age because of the outer material coming off the frame & what it's made of? The 2nd piece the thrift store manager said the donator told him they thought it was a old wood door from a African tribe? Is that what it is? If not can anybody tell me what it is? I think it's primitive - because of the way someone used rawhide or leather to sew the split in the wood together? It should have decorative value at the least, right? (I think it'd look cool hanging on a wall!) - could it be a shield? Thank you!
