Item picked up in Kalimantan

I inherited this painting from my mom. She told me the story that a famous Korean artist made it and signed it for her. 40 years ago someone offered her $5,000 for it must be kind of special. Can someone recognize anything about this artist or significance?

Can you please tell me about this painting?

Does anyone know anything about this plate? I assume it’s from 1940s occupation but can’t find anything on google lens. Thanks!

Interesting plate

This is antique very long over 5 ft. Scroll with a watercolor featuring a cat stalking a butterfly - The cat has yellow eyes and is black and white and then there are really pretty yellow flowers with different colors in the middle, the cat is on a cliff and then the butterfly is flying underneath by the flowers. There is writing toward the top, and then there is a seal. There is also a seal on the bottom. Some of the characters seem to be Mandarin? but I am not sure. I tried to look for as much as I could but it is very hard unless you understand the language because it's so complex. My Google translator was saying one of the words at the top and black was spring. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

As I said this is a really old scroll, I'm not really sure how old. The paper almost seems silky but is still paper and if you look really close you can almost see the different lines in the paper that makes me think possibly it's made of bamboo and silk? Where The burgundy paper meets the paper with the watercolor, there is almost raised lines inside the paper. It's really strange how they did this. It's definitely a very quality done piece. I've looked at many of these cat watercolors going back to to the 1800s and this one is really nice. I wish I would know the exact age and I'm sure the paper could point to that. If anyone has any information on anything written on here or any of the seals? If you think you know the artist please let me know. I would greatly appreciate it. I've had this for a while and I've looked and looked for something that I thought looked like either of the seals which are both square, but I can't really find anything.

I've attached any pictures if you need anymore let me know!

I found this piece at a thrift store in the United States about 15 years ago and am looking to learn more about it. It appears this is a copy of the artwork “Along the River During the Quigming Festival”, but I am curious to learn if it is antique and has any value or is a more modern reproduction.

The cover seems to be some sort of cloth and the print is on a very long scroll of what seems like silk paper.

It's about 12" across very heavy. Looking at the back where metal backing is peeling, it doesn't appear to be plaster underneath and made completely of some sort of metal. Not magnetic so no steel. 80s 90s most likely. Anyone have any relevant info potentially on this?

We were gifted a unique cabinet meant for reading X-rays/photo transparencies and finally got around to cleaning it out and setting it up. During the process I located this piece of Asian (Chinese?) art and I have no clue as to its origin, the artist, or its value. Any help in Identifying would be super!!

Ivory? Figure In Plastic, 3.5" x 2.25, Dads Hidden Treasures (Auction?)
Hi everyone. I've seen this thing around for my entire life and have been mystified by it. My dad was an eclectic collector of anything a New England antique store or auction could throw at him. This was just one of those pieces.

He passed away a few years ago, so going through his stuff I came across it again. Intriguing!

The figure seems to be in solid Plastic with a foam bottom inlaid somehow. I don't remember if the crack through some of the plastic was there when I was a kid or not.

Hope someone can shed some light. I believe maybe Indonesian? Thanks!

Are these Chinese antiques? 

I bought it second hand for 15€ because it caught my eye. It’s a printed painting. When I googled the title: tranquility by David Lee, I found a whole bunch of people reselling theirs for at least 100. 

Can anybody tell me if this is worth anything? And if it’s “real” (it’s a print but I mean limited or a copy or something like that). 

Please enlighten me if you know anything about this genre of art.

My father bought this statue on a flea market in the Netherlands. 

For me, it depicts a water buffalo with soldier.

Do you have any further information on it, such as date, land of origin (China, Japan, ...), market value, more accurate description, etc.

Can any experts comment on whether this is genuine?

It is well known that in the Meiji and Edo time, and still even in the Showa time, in Japan, miniature varnished furniture for jewelry was in fashion for national use and export. Most of them carry a seal script of the artist or the manufacturer like the one photographed in the attached picture.

Can you tell me what characters are hidden behind the seal script in the picture, and if possible, give me further information about the artist and the precise date of the manufacturer's career. It's also a question about dating the antiquity in question.
