Wood Carving with a Yellow Flower

This wooden plaque is another of my favorite thrift store finds. I found it in a box of old picture frames. The carved leaves look like trees and what I think are owls, on the outside edge, have an upside down heart-shaped beak. Sometimes those owls look like butterflies, to me. The center is carved in a lovely honeycomb pattern. I use this plaque all the time as a base for teapots, vases of flowers, or pretty bowls. On the back is a stampmark "INDIA". A yellow flower I crocheted adds some color.
