Is this carving as old as I think it is?

Hello, I got this at a thrift store and to me, it looks very old. It is a carving that matches old masters such as Renoir, The decent of Christ. Please notice the old paint./Users/rebsto54/Desktop/E-Bay Pics/IMG_2085.jpg/Users/rebsto54/Desktop/E-Bay Pics/IMG_2088.jpg

Briangg, when posting a photo use the "Upload a File" button that is at the bottom of the editing window. Then you can select either to show a thumbnail or the full photo. The files can't be extremely large, or you will get an error message.

 

Sorry, I'm terribe on a computer and I'm going to have to figure out how to upload pics. Pease forgive me.

 

Yea, my pics are too big. How do I upload thumbnail?

 

You'll need to resize them and then upload or if this is it, you can just click on the photo on the Ebay board, copy and paste here.

 

Hi, if you don't know how to crop and resize pictures, you could upload them to tinypic and post the links here instead.

Or change your camera settings to take smaller pictures.

/Users/rebsto54/Desktop/E-Bay Pics/IMG_2074.jpg/Users/rebsto54/Desktop/E-Bay Pics/IMG_2074.jpgYes that is the pic. I'm going to try again to see if I can upload more views. Thanks for your help am

 

I'm sorry, I thought I had it but when I figure it out, I'll be back! See ya in about a week. LOL

 

If you go to where you posted them on Ebay, click on the photo, then right click, copy, you can then come here and just right click paste it right to your response here.

 

Very nice! Outside of my field of expertise, but very nice.

 

Who am I kidding, I have no expertise!

 

I looked at this over on the other site and don't quite know what to think. I think the carving would be more deteriorated around the edges if it was as old and deteriorated as the body of the wood looks. It may have some legitimate age to it but my gut reaction is that it is not ancient.

 

That's Verybrad of you to reply! It's good to hear from you guys again! You're probably right but there is just something different about this piece. It's hard to describe. I really believe that the carving was much sharper when 1st done or at least I hope so. So one things for sure, It's either REALLY old or this guy was a TERRIBLE CARVER! LOL

 

Ok, I'm gonna try the copy, paste thing. Ready? Here goes probably nothing

WOO.HOO! Thanks Guys!

 

I have resized your pic so that it will actually appear in a message without having to click on a link. Your picture is huge. It is:
Dimension-wise: 1,936 pixel wide X 2,592 pixel high
Weight-wise: 1,65 MB = 1,665 KB = 1,704,807 bytes

I have resized it to:
Dimension-wise: 448 pixel wide x 600 pixel high
Weight-wise: 38 KB = 38.146 bytes

To get it to insert into a message, I clicked "Upload a File" button at the bottom of the reply window, scroll around and found the resized pic on my computer, select it and click the "Open" button. The pic then appears under the reply window with 2 options: "Thumbnail" or "Full Image." I clicked the part of the message I wanted the pic to appear and then click the "Full Image" button.
