<p>[QUOTE=&quot;&#039;Nuff_Said, post: 12597, member: 181&quot;]Thanks everyone!</p><p><br /></p><p>Those reverse paintings sell for around $150 - $500 depending on the subject matter and how well they&#039;re executed.</p><p><br /></p><p>The real prize in that lot above is the carved Balinese figure. It should be in a museum, not in our hands, but glad that&#039;s where it landed. The male figure sitting on lap looks to have once held a <i>kris</i> (dagger) in his left hand but it&#039;s now lost. IF authentic and of the period (which I believe it is), prices realized can reach into the mid-five-figures or more.</p><p><br /></p><p>These lot numbers (40 - 83) show a number of authentic examples that sold at auction last year: <a href="http://www.deutscherandhackett.com/auctions/catalogues/123456942/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.deutscherandhackett.com/auctions/catalogues/123456942/" rel="nofollow">http://www.deutscherandhackett.com/auctions/catalogues/123456942/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/lot/a-balinese-polychrome-wooden-keris-holder-4576187-details.aspx?from=searchresults&amp;intObjectID=4576187&amp;sid=541416ca-ab34-4f80-9ff4-65a62fc380e0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/lot/a-balinese-polychrome-wooden-keris-holder-4576187-details.aspx?from=searchresults&amp;intObjectID=4576187&amp;sid=541416ca-ab34-4f80-9ff4-65a62fc380e0" rel="nofollow">http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/lot/a-balinese-polychrome-wooden-keris-holder-4576187-details.aspx?from=searchresults&amp;intObjectID=4576187&amp;sid=541416ca-ab34-4f80-9ff4-65a62fc380e0</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
