    Have not seen one quite like this. Orientalist desert scene makes me think North Africa. Scene is embossed with a press. Don't think it has too much age to it. Wood is maybe mahogany.

    Thanks very Brad. I also came across this piece, what might you be able to tell me about this? Unfortunately I don't have any dimensions or other details. IMG-20230423-WA0012.jpg

    What is a fair price for an item like this?

    The second one seems to be Asian in origin. It is not very well done in comparison to many we see. Note the quality difference vs. the one Ranger Rick posted. Values are all over the place with these. Have seen them sell in the $50.00 range, on up to several hundred dollars. It really depends on where and how being sold.

    The first looks inspired by Valentino's film The Sheik and the imagery from it that was adopted by popular culture.
