Caribe Heitor Julio Paride Bernabo 1911- 1998 BR Caribe' is a pseudonym of Hector Bernabo' Born Lanus, Argentine 1911. See "New Brazil Art by Pietro Maria Bardi Praeger Publishers c1970 page 152 "In his work he reproduces the folklore of Bahia which is his permanent theme. He executed a fresco for the American Airline Building at Idlewild Airport of New York in 1959" This wonderful piece is in original condition made from multiple pieces of scrap wood nail together and than hand carved to show the images of natives at dance and war. There is a small piece missing from the lower left which we show in one of the extra pictures we have supplied. The paint is blue and white with some flaking but most all the paint is fine. This piece was stored outside so it has some weathering effect to it. Measures 47 inches wide,25 and one half inches high and one and one half inches thick.For more information on the artist go to this website http://www.pitoresco.com.br/brasil/carybe/carybe.htm

Thank you for your quick reply. I am really shocked at the price. I knew many people here wanted it, but probably figured I didn't know what I had and they wanted to buy it for nothing. I am glad I held on to it.
Thanks again!
