Japanese -- Asian painting of Two Men with Weapons
06 September 2021
Description

This seems vintage and has something to do with ancient weapons and could be Japanese. There is an animal or a personage or deity at the top of the stand and a few marks. It look like silk or maybe parchment or paper of some type. It measures 33.5 by 24 inches. I wish I knew more.

OK, Delia. I uploaded two images.
I also am asking a burning question about another item as soon as I can upload the link to a chair you already evaluated
Thanks,
