ATLANTIC SOUTH. Decorative Collage, Wall Hanging, c. Unknown.
Stamped on the back: “Artesania Reyes” with an address and phone number presumably of the seller or maker, this unique wall plaque is a varnished wood collage featuring a simple map of Puerto Rico and five musical instruments associated with this U.S. territory. Artesania Reyes translates roughly to “Craft Kings”, and the information supplied here puts it in the Puerto Rican region of Hato Rey, just north of San Juan. In another bit of information gleaned off the back, the piece represents a “Fabricamos Instrumentos del País” - which infers that the five miniature instruments belong to a kind used by country or native musicians. Two acoustical ones, complete with their strings, flank the sides of the piece. Three other percussion types are in the middle, mounted above the map of Puerto Rico. It is display-ready as a hanger is fit onto the back. Taken altogether, this is a charming little presentation that would be sure to please anyone looking for unique Puerto Rican themed wall art.
