Set of three hand-painted carved wooden plaques, in high raised relief, with a Chinoiserie theme. They are probably from a carousel or carnival. The carving is very professional, and they are attractively painted in a variety of colors. One depicts a man with a fish. The pair depicts a man fighting off a serpent or dragon.
