This is a wonderful vintage hand painted wooden barbershop sign from Ghana, Africa. Painted in a wonderful purple color with two stylish gentleman and their modern haircut styles. The Words "Extra O, 707, U.S,A, and Front & Back" decorate the sign.Advertising boards were made by specialized, self-taught artists, who used colors to paint previously determined motifs on wooden, plywood, or less commonly on metal surfaces, most often with the very expressive use of pure colors. The paintings mostly portrayed figure motifs which symbolized certain respectable professions, or certain products and brand names. Measures 33.25 x 13.25 inches.

Heavily worn and weathered, nail holes, in fair fragile condition.
