<p>[QUOTE=&quot;antidiem, post: 435824, member: 30&quot;]Thanks for the tag, Bakers, yes I was born and raised in New Orleans, still love to eat in the seafood restaurants there, but have never seen this sign hanging in any of the ones I ate at. I do believe I&#039;d have remembered this sign, and because many of the restaurants are so fancy decorated with art works (local or not), I have no doubt that this was a restaurant decoration. (I still do walk around to peruse the art when I am out anywhere!) </p><p><br /></p><p>Although I was making art in college in 1971, I do not recognize the initials. It looks like a &quot;naive art&quot; collage (primitive art) by a young Louisiana local for their family&#039;s restaurant. It must have been hung up in a cleaner spot, I don&#039;t see a lot of grease gunk collected on the figures. How stable is it? </p><p><br /></p><p>Is it made of paper mâché or some kind of moldable clay type of stuff? Is the red backing the same stuff? Kind of looks like a wooden surround also covered with the mache / clay and paint, What size please? </p><p><br /></p><p>This could have come out of the Chalmette area, Baton Rouge, Lafayette or the Breaux Bridge areas too, anywhere in Southern Louisiana, really.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
