Can somebody please identify this wall plaque? It looks like some sort of folk art motif (maybe it's Scandinavian?) there's a very faint printed text on the back, but it's so faded that it's impossible to read. Thanks.

thanks Naomi. I've had a look at some Mexican tree of life patterns, but they don't seem to be similar to this one. It may sound funny, but when I first saw the plate, for some strange reason Ikea popped into my mind. And then I remembered that they make some folk art patterned cushions. I've had a look on Ikea's website and they have similar motifs.

I've been googleing this plate for a day now, and I'm still totally lost... The closest pattern match I could find is the Pennsylvanian Frakturs, but I'm still unsure. Is there anybody who is familiar with Pennsylvanian pottery and able to advise if it's one of them? Thanks..

Can you post a picture of the back? Sometimes the general shape and position of silt marks (or absence of them) can help identify it.
