Ref: 4523
A decorative vintage painted shop sign or advertisement sign on hardboard and with original pine frame - it is an interesting piece, from Romania, and in Romanian“Cojocar” means something like a furrier or evidently in this case someone who sells and perhaps makes coats made of sheep and animal skin.
As the illustration shows us this could be a traditional embroidered jerkin as worn by the peasants in the countryside or a more modern style but still fleece-lined bomber jacket. The tradesman’s name, Ion Vitescu.
