2x Antique 19th Century Middle Eastern painting on bone. These exquisitely painted miniatures are truly breathtaking. Set of two paintings. Believed to be acrylic on bone. Signed, but I cannot read writing. It may be Arabic or Farsi. Each painting is framed in a wooden frame with golden yellow tones that matches nicely. Frames have a small decorative hook on the top and hanging hardware on the back. The paintings are about 4.5″ x 7.5″, frames measure about 6″ x 9.25″. The first scene depicts a hunt. Horses and men chasing deer elk? In a wooded rocky area with ornate houses in the background. Although yellowed, it appears to be in excellent condition considering it’s presumed age of late 19th century. The second painting depicts a more communal scene of people tending animals sheep? , while others ride horses, sit inside tents, drink wine, and watch lambs and dogs. This painting is not in perfect condition, and shows some areas that have flaked off from the original painting. Although imperfect, the painting is still exquisitely done and wonderful to view.

This is an antique back bone / vertebrae that is from a horse or cow. It has been hand painted to look like the priest John Wesley. The paintwork on the face is very finely done. Naive folk art which are very collectable today… These were made to make fun of Methodist leader John Wesley and his new evangelical religion of the period. No maker’s marks etc. It is in collectable condition with normal signs of age and use wear. The paintwork is dirty and chipped in places, mostly on the very edges and corners where the bone is visible. Please see pictures for more details. 5 inches tall, 5 inches wide and 4 inches in depth.
