Pinewood with oil-painted fine details. Charming and scarce pieces, it took the owner a couple of years to find them. There is no agreement as to what the original purpose of the dummy boards was.

Like unframed oil paintings on board, the painting can easily get chipped and peel if scraped by brute force. less
