Does anyone read Russian (or Turkish?) Label on back of signed metal art work see photos

[pipilo02]

  Thin heavy metal plate with layered thin metal pieces attached creating sunset forested picture.  Signed on front with 72.  Has label on back in Russian? language.  Guessing label tells about piece and signature on front is artist but I don't know that for sure.  Thank you anyone who can enlighten me anything about this piece including what language it is in.

Russian uses the Cyrillic alphabet.   The Turkish alphabet is the same Latin script we use for English.   Unfortunately, the photos are too out of focus for my old eyes, so I cannot even discern the language, much less what it might say.

Thank you Maxine; I will take it outside tomorrow to try to get clearer photos of it.....not Turkish then; think its Russian.

I believe the title / heading is the word "Instructions" in Russian.  Google translate can help you - just use the Cyrillic keyboard or handwrite what you see in the pop up box - in case no one comes along to translate for you.

I use Lexilogos, but it's work and I'm barely patient enough to do it for myself but not patient enugh to do it for others.  I find that I have to work back and forth, and try out different translations / transliterations to get something I'm confident of.

@argon38  seems able to do these lengthy jobs with some ease, so maybe he will come along to help.

Yes that's why I only got as far as the heading.  I think there is software to translate text in photos but if so, I don't have it.

Yes, it's just general instructions for the care of the artwork in the home. It isn't really worth the effort of typing up - it's stuff like keep in dry place at room temperature, dusting, occasional lubrication. No information about the artist or the work itself.

Did you hae any luck with what I think may be the artist's / maker's signature in the first photo?

No, but I like your Scots accent.

The problem is that handwritten Russian is not as easy to decipher as the printed script. Much like ours, the written is its own thing and is mutable. The standard writing taught in the 70s might not be the same as what people write like today.  But I can say with certainty that this IS the handstyle of 70s Russia. 

Don't ask why I know that. 

I will see if any of my (2 remaining) Russ are available for translation.

This is a bit of a mystery. I've found one from 1968 - not identical, but with clear similarities. However, it's by a completely different artist (or artists?). So I'm not sure what's going on, really. I'm not finding any relevant information when I search the names in the listing:

(It's priced in Hong Kong dollars, for some reason. Equivalent to around $70 US dollars).

This rubbish is not worth your attention, a cheap souvenir from the supermarket. The sticker contains instructions on how to store art treasures.

The inscription "gold 72" in Old Church Slavonic(old russian).

Price is  3 rub it is around 4.68 usd in 1968.
