The piece is on what i'm assuming to be rice paper, being most charcoal rubbings were done on that medium at the time. As you can see, it is in perfect condition and much larger than most pieces online. it measures 22 inches x 46 inches.
i know nothing about it... received from a friend 30 years prior
Dear Brian,
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 artwork on paper with the measurements of 46 x 22 cm. The artwork depicts an geometrical decor and a sitting figure in the style of Thai art. It was made as an charcoal rubbing on paper over an relief or three-dimensional original. Such artworks are often made and sold as a souvenir and it was made in Thailand in the second half of the 20th century.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 10 to 30 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
