<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 4232807, member: 7360"]This strange print came with a job lot of books which I think was a dealer's group of problem pieces in need of identification or repair, so maybe the previous owner didn't know what it was either. It is full of symbolism, mainly snakes but also iions, scorpions, a crescent and stars, a small pavilion . . . There is some writing which looks Arabic. It is printed in colour on thin but decent paper. I expected to find some clues with a google search but have found nothing like it. I thought that it was probably something sold at some kind of festival, and probably quite common, but it seems not common, or maybe not worth putting online! Can anybody help me, or even just suggest search terms for it? I don't imagine it has any real value but would like to identify it before moving it on. Size about 23ins x 16ins.[ATTACH=full]336456[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]336457[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]336458[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]336459[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]336460[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]336462[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]336464[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
