[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 277173, member: 2844"]My mother collected European folk art, and I sang and danced in a semi-professional group specalizing in Bulgarian and Macedonian folk dances for a while. (Don't ask me why, but it was great fun, very energetic, and unusual rhythms.) That light golden brown wood is very Balkans, and the decoration is like embroidery patterns, also very Balkans. Then you search your mind for matching embroidery patterns (ethnic dress collecting comes in handy in a case like this), and out come Bulgaria, Serbia. If I had to pin it down to a country I would say Bulgaria, and the seller on eBay is in Bulgaria, so I didn't do too badly.:smuggrin:;) This is an authentic piece of folk art, it has real character.[/QUOTE]
