That is beautiful! Any idea of who it belonged to or when/where it was made?  Thanks for posting.

Thanks Steve...I thought you'd like it.  I couldn't obtain any veteran info...but I suspect it was crafted in Japan...or perhaps the PI.

Thanks sir.  Agreed, but that fact has been a mixed blessing for me.

Always loved these especially when they are as beautiful and intricate as this one.

I've seen so many of these over the years that are severely sun faded, sagging & torn from handling/age.  Usually only the frame is intact.

 

This one is a beauty

Thanks!  Agreed, most of them are fairly thrashed after 100+ years.
