<p>[QUOTE="APainter, post: 10327721, member: 9090"]I acquired this in a bulk from a collector's estate. At first I thought it was a Bali shadow landscape, but then the figures themselves don't resemble that too well. They are exaggerated cartoon, but I'm confused as to the origin. It's in an expensive frame so I assume it's a rare item. My quick research resulted in Turkish, Iranian, and even Indian, yet neither is exactly similar either. The painting is on a thick leather, no other markings found. It appears old, generally if Bali it would be close to 75-100, but I know leather work can be misleading, so it could be 1-200 years old as far as I know if not older. Let me know what you think!</p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/screen-shot-2025-04-06-at-10-09-14-pm-png.519317/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/screen-shot-2025-04-06-at-10-09-25-pm-png.519315/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/screen-shot-2025-04-06-at-10-09-17-pm-png.519316/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
