PLACE REPRESENTED: Cruz Alta , Brazil

ITEM: Wall Ornament

NOTES: Cruz Alta is a town the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in southern Brazil near the Argentinian and Uruguayan borders. This probably explains the gaucho-esque painting on this piece of leather … it’s cow country. Portuguese is spoken though there is a Gaúcho Portuguese dialect due to the proximity with Argentina and Uruguay and their common Gaucho past. I’m not sure how to say Yeee-Hah in Gaúcho Portuguese but it would be apt here.
