Wood Carved Figure
The statue is about 6 3/4" tall, 2 3/8" wide and 1 3/4" deep front to back.
Picked this up in a lot with some other items over the weekend.
I'm not sure What the origins of the statue are. However with the round moon like face I believe this is an Eskimo carving?
I recently saw a rerun of the Antiques Roadshow from Fort Worth in 2017. There was an Eskimo bowl with a figural head that looked a lot Like this statue.
I may be completely wrong? I'd like to hear your opinions as to what the origins of this statue are.
It's a tropical wood, if that's any help. Pretty much rules out Eskimo!
Ok thanks. I couldn't exactly identify the wood. So my other thought was then it was South American possibly?
it's cool, but about 1000 yrs younger than my stone one!
No identification has been established, so can't determine age or where it originated..
