    This is definitely hand carved, other than that...I have no idea of the origin. It was traded for a fiat convertible when I was 5 years old, now it is in my living room.

      Made fairly recently as part of the antique styled reproductions that are coming out of Indonesia and Thailand. I have seen a number of them on TV recently on some of the shows on finding these pieces.

      PhilDMorris, Thank you for your comment. What constitutes "recently"? The first time I ever saw it was over 35 years ago and it was covered in dust. I would really love to know more about it.
