S-104  Super POW-Made Carved Wooden Plaque
A really cool item, this lightweight, thin wooden plaque started off at perhaps an inch and a half thick and cut roughly 5.5” by 5.5” square. The Veteran was probably an Afrika Korps prisoner, and the motif shows a globe with a representation of Africa (stained dark brown), with the right side of the continent carved into something of a tunnel through which is appearing a Panzer (tank) – roughly a Mark IV model. It’s a very cool three-dimensional image, with the original height of the block used to present the tank and continent in detailed relief, while the lowest flat surface is now only about .25” thick. A string for hanging the piece was attached to the top rear edge, with the ends secured under a piece of paper tape. A truly unique piece of artwork!
