Marvelous Antique Sign Board of Good fortune and Promise.
Straits Chinese
Excellent condition, dramatice deep carving

These lovely boards once cloaked the streets of Singapore and Malaysia, hanging above the entrances to Chinese temples, businesses, schools, homes and clan associations.
Featuring calligraphy carved into camphor or teak wood, Chinese signboards were a good-luck charm, an icon of these South East Asian cultures.
