Carved German
What kind of painting do I have?

Recently I have inherited several wooden carved paintings from Europe. I cannot find who made them or anything online that resembles it. It is of a German village or maybe some sort of European village, with darker colors, and each picture has a small tree with blooms on it. Each picture is made of carved wood. Was this a trend or something that was sold to tourist in the 1960s? It was bought in Frankfurt Germany around 1962. Any help would be great!!!

what you have is called a low relief sculpture or bas relief. i cant tell you too much more about it than that. you could try reposting the question in the travel section for germany, that might give you a better lead if it is a tourist type item.

i was able to find one german low relief from the 60′s
