[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 8667313, member: 8267"]There are some problems in these images. The knives they are using to cut the sugar cane are wrong - they should be more like heavy machetes. There are no tigers in Africa, and the elephant's ears are really odd. If they were actually locally made folk art, they would be more accurate. And the signatures have a sort of Asian calligraphy appearance. I suspect Chinese versions of other peoples' folk art.[/QUOTE]
