Crusty Old Carved and Painted Architectural Fragment antique textile which played an important partI'm not quite sure what this once was a part of, but I really love it now just as an object, with very satisfying crusty old painted surface and carved form a bit suggestive of an arrow making it a good one for hanging on the wall pointing toward whatever. 8 5 8" l x 2 5 8" w x 7 8" thick and in sound condition.
