<p>[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 9727199, member: 649"]What do you think, does this depict a stylized pomegranate or poppyseed head? (I'm leaning toward the latter. I understand poppy flowers symbolize sleep/death, but what about seedheads?) I presume it may have once been a panel from a piece of furniture or cabinetry... or not. It's a bit darker to the naked eye than it appears in the photos. The panel is about 3/8 inch or 1cm thick. Opinions/guesses/knowledge on age, wood type, and origin are welcome, thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>I thought it a pretty little thing and I have a good place to display it so it is now mine. Purchased from a UK seller who believed it to be from the 1880s, but knew nothing more.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]472751[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]472752[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
