<p>[QUOTE="Newbie47, post: 3957008, member: 19858"]For what it's worth, I have seen the figures in different rubbings in different configurations usually grouped in 3 to 5 and linear to each other. This looks like a conglomeration of various similar scenes in a random pattern for each individual (dancers and musicians). The original rubbings were not done by independent artists in the 50s 60s and 70s, but by monks who did them for money, or locals, so those were probably never signed. This signature, to me, indicates a more modern rubbing. If it is more modern, then it is probably from a replicated relief of an original. The artist appears to have used the right kind of paper but it is whiter than the older ones (based on how it appears in the photo). I am no expert, but I have seen many rubbings as my mother is Thai and we have some from the 60s/70s when my parents lived there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
