Subject:Identify carved panel
Posted By: PATRICK STULTS Sat, Oct 24, 2020 IP: 2601:602:9403:490:ce
Recently purchase carved wood panel. Not as detailed or intricate as others I've seen. Chinese employee translated part of it to "good luck." A pencil signature on the reverse shows 2 characters for tree/forest.

Two characters,
納福　-　Nafu - Enjoy a life of ease and comfort (usu. of the elderly)
Writing from the left to right means that the carving is not really old. (After WWII)

With regards,
I.Nagy
