<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 5564768, member: 84&quot;]I found this at a local thrift store today. It has beautiful carved in relief scene on the back of a stingray fish and a story about the wood on the back. It has a small chip on the tip of one fin, but I bought it anyway because I&#039;ve never seen anything like it.</p><p><br /></p><p>It also has a small bio(?)/story of the Breadfruit tree wood that I&#039;m guessing it is carved from on the back.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I googled carved scene in breadfruit wood I found a couple of links to pieces that are in museums, but none for sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone tell me about my piece and/or the story behind Breadfruit trees? Are the carved scenes African? (I don&#039;t think Africa when I think stingray!)</p><p><br /></p><p>I appreciate any information on my piece - thank you!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]416209[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]416210[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]416211[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]416212[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]416213[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]416214[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
