[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 8564764, member: 84"]I found this guy at my local thrift store yesterday, It appears to be at least partially hand painted (are the scenes hand painted or prints?) And while it looks like carved wood from the bottom, it doesn't really feel like it? Maybe it has a shellack or other type coating? If you look at the beard there is a small hole with space under it - could it be a piece that was added/glued on? Finally - there is something written with what appears to be Russian Cyrillic letters; maybe artist's signature? Any thoughts on it? Thanks all!
