Dear Mal,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil or acrylic paint on canvas or cardboard with the measurements of 106 x 80,5 cm. The painting depicts an animal surrounded by abstract motifs typical for Aboriginal art. It is signed BuuBaa Ju. Sadly no additional information is given by reference books or databases.
Comparable objects by this artist were recently not offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 100 to 200 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
George
