Can anyone identify this marking?
Have a couple of unremarkable water colours of the black and divis mountains, but i note a symbol at the bottom of each that i cannot identify, does anyone have an idea? Hours of googling and asking auction houses have drawn a blank! Thank you in advance

You started a thread on this before here https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/show...hp?p=111548680 with no response and so you're unlikely to get a response - at least from me.

The design behind it looks like a sunburst flag. Google sunburst flag. The sunburst has been used for over 150 years at this stage by Irish nationalist and Republican movements. I think you'd be better talking to a historian of Irish Republicanism in Belfast than an art house. Where did you get it, that'll change the focus as well. |

Celtic interlace on the frame.
I'd guess it's the original frame. You could carefully lift the back off, if it's like most frames, there may be a name or dedication on the back. Was he jailed in the black and tan war. |

Thanks for all the input, even the Ulster University fobbed me off. I have a query out with an expert in the field so ill report back when i get anything new. Unfortunately both grand parents were gone by the time i was a young boy so i dont have a direct line, but my uncle may also be a help. Tks again
