LUIS POTOSI ECUADOR ARTIST VINTAGE CARVING WOOD RELIEF SCULPTURE. It measures approximately 20 1/2 x 11 x 2 1/4. The details are amazing and I can just imagine how long it took to create something like this? I know it has a metal tab label in the bottom, right hand corner of the frame. It is in very good condition, and the only flaw that I can see is in the upper right hand corner. There is a crack in one of the mountains however, the piece is very sturdy and well-made. Thanks for your interest.
