PLACE REPRESENTED: Sarajevo , Bosnia and Herzegovina

ITEM: Wall Ornament ]

NOTES: Sarajevo in Bosnia celebrated in wood craft (by pyrography – the art of decorating wood or leather by burning a design on the surface with a heated metallic point ) typical of Yugoslav folk tourist art of the 70s. Depicted here is the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque and Tower clock damaged in the war of the 1990s but repaired. Oddly, perhaps intentionally, one of the verticals in the Mosque’s dome roof leading to the roof spire looks quite like a cross. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gazi_Husrev-beg_Mosque
