Early Sicilian Donkey Cart Fragment oil on Oak rough oak plank

This is an early Sicilian Donkey Cart Fragment, circa 1800.  Unsigned as usual.  THere is some writing on the bottom edge but is mostly worn away.  The thick oak board was cracked in the center and was repaired many years ago.  Still the color is rich and the composition is mostly intact.  This sort of decoration was in use in Sicily for hundreds of years as a decoration to their Donkey carts.  We feel this is from the mid to early 19th century.  The board measures 15X20 inches.
