Lot 284: A Collection of Carved Wooden and Decorative Ethnic Objects

This collection comprises a diverse array of decorative objects, primarily crafted from wood and metal. Dominating the background is a large woven wicker basket. The grouping includes a pair of dark wood segmented vases featuring painted floral motifs, accompanied by “Antiques Etc” tags. Three circular metal decorative plates are present: one silver-toned with intricate repoussé patterning, and two black-finished plates adorned with colorful Egyptian-revival scenes of figures and hieroglyphs. A pair of dark carved wooden figurines, depicting male and female forms in traditional attire, are accented with white and red beadwork. A small, rounded dark wood pot displays carved geometric patterns. Completing the arrangement are a pair of wooden boomerangs with indigenous Australian-style dot art, a small rectangular wooden box with geometric inlay (likely mother-of-pearl or bone), and a larger wooden hinged box featuring marquetry of stylized foliate designs on its lid and a keyhole. A wooden board partially visible in the background bears the Cyrillic inscription “БЪЛГАРИЯ” (Bulgaria).
