Thanks a lot for opening my eyes, Flavio.
My CD images were copied into a small format in my computer files. Now i can see the open work, the identical decoration details and even those arch loops ... i don't know how to call them better. No doubt these pieces are familiar to mine, the origin definitely being the same.
I see that you picked the origin Adamaua-Mandara from a different book, the one of picture number 40, right. Which is this book?
Again many thanks.
BTW Do you think this piece could be as old as 19th century ?
