    I bought these at the Goodwill about 6-7 years ago and paid 50.00 a piece.. the most I ever spent on something I knew "nothing" about but I fell in love with them. I do see a few pieces of the mop missing but "oh well". Anyway, what would I call these and how old are they? Did I get reamed?
    Thanks for any info.:) Excuse the dust, no UMPH to dust. phpNXFlNgAM.jpg

    I took the bottom pics outside but still can't get the detail.

    If not, maybe they are to hang on the wall.

    No they are seperate and have hangers on top for the wall. I just haven't found a space to hang them :)

    I had a folding silk screen years ago and gifted it to one of my daughters.

    These are lacquered wood.

    I'd say they represent the sea goddess Yoni releasing the fish-dragon spirit Pow Ting to round up the sardine herds.

    What about age? I'd say 1930s-1950s.
