Icoaobli is a 1850 by Unknown, depicting Cult Object, held at "Dimitrie Gusti" National Village Museum.
This is the back of a small, worn wooden panel. The paint is mostly faded, but you can still see traces of red, blue, yellow, and white near the bottom edge. Two numbers and some letters are scratched into the dark wood—one looks like "M.S. 34227," and the other is "86645." The panel feels old, with visible cracks and patches where the wood has aged. The faded colors suggest it might have held a drawing or painting at some point. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see where this piece is kept.
