It is probably not very old, but is definitely mid to late 20th century or earlier. My father got it as a gift from a friend who was or is a doctor. Beyond that, all I know is he said it is a copy of a famous map of the World. It seems to be very very well made. The frame isn't striking to me but fits The piece regarding color and not drawing attention away from the piece. I would like to know how it was made, it appears to be gold foil with raised inked areas( for example the circle of animals located in top middle seem to be 3-Dimensional.) the map seemingly is written in Latin. Near the bottom left there are angel children looking creatures with wings blowing air? Creating the winds? Please give me as much, and I mean a son much information as possible! I have had this piece for a little while now and I love love love love it, it plays in direct light so well!!!! Thanks. And I will do as requested with the pictures. More pics to follow momentarily[/QUOTE]
