<p>[QUOTE="TheOLdGuy, post: 74014, member: 878"]Thanks for the comments/questions. It's all cloth, even the background dark brown piece. The face is a cut out, probably backed up on something solid to give it a third dimension, then painted. Everything else is pieces of cloth cut and folded. The coloring was on the cloths, not added. There is a name for this technique and not sure if it's simply "cloth art." One antique dealer I know said the beards are made from human hair. BTW, these are 14 inches by 6 3/4. Is there another category on this site that might fit better?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
