PLEASE HELP
I was given this picture by my friend when his mom passed away. His mom was an artist specializing in leatherwork She travelled around the world and found many treasures and artifacts that were unique one of a kinds. This picture was one of them. I am not sure where she got it. She went to Arizona, Africa, South America, Europe etc. There is what appears to be a family crest painted on the birds wings. The parallel lines are carved very precisely. I believe they are symbolic of water. I think the birds are Herons The colors of the Crests painted on the wings are scarlet blue gold. I wonder what material isthat it is carved on as it seems like wood (the carved side but on the back it appears to be corrugated with little squares perhaps imprinted into it by whatever held it flat and steady while worked upon.It is a little thicker than a 1/4 inch. The overall dimensions are 12"x 18" What is this type of art piece called? Where may it be from. I imagine it's value is as high as the demand for something like this.lol Thank-you
