There's a bunch of West African countries that have the same design in this period. This is one of the more affordable ones smile.gif

I love the elegance of this design. Its been around for awhile:

The image is of large figures in Lascaux. On the opposite wall, a much smaller frieze of ibex heads is even more elegant. I visited Lasscaux twice in 1997 and had the opportunity to examine them closely in my 5 minutes in that section of the cave. The African design is every bit as moving as the Palaeolithic images.
