824-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, November 9, 2002 Antiques Questions And Answers I would like to know something about these beautifully carved wood plaques with paintings of peasant women in the center. They hang from hooks on a car ved piece of wood. I thought they might be Russian. Any information you could give would be appreciated. H.M.V. - New Kensington, PA Your carved lacquer pieces depict ing a celebration of the harvest are similar to those done by Russian art ists. They are still being made.

G.T. - Summerville, NJ If you have an idea of your asking price, I would suggest you advertise in your local paper, or in one of the many antiques trade publications listed in library reference departs.
