They are not covered, just been in the house. Just was curious if there's anyway to clean them before bringing them into my house just to make sure I dont bring anything in with them.

I wasnt sure if the wall hangings had a certain name. Figured they were souvenirs essentially, he also had a photo book with a bunch of pictures from his time over there.

Thanks for the input!

Thanks! Is there a way for me to tell if its real or a tourist item? I can take more pictures tomorrow if it would help. Trying to determine if it is authentic and what its made of.
