SILVER OR SILVER PLATED, VERY TARNISHED WHEN BOUGHT, THOUGHT THIS WAS BRASS AT FIRST. POLISHED INTO A BEAUTIFUL SILVER WITH VERY NICE DECORATIVE BASE AND INSIDE THE SCALE BOWLS. PAID $4.00. USED AS DECORATIVE PIECE. NICE SILVER UNDER THE "TARNISH" WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO THE MAKER IS AND GENERAL WORTH OF THE PIECE. THANK YOU.
THIS IS A HAND CARVED PROFILE OF AN ETHNIC PERSON, POSSILBLY AFRICAN. NICE DETAIL. IT IS POSSIBLY A WALL HANGING WITH CARVING DONE INSIDE OF HAND CARVED FRAME, ALL ATTACHED, ONE SOLID PEICE OF WOOD. WOOD IS HARD BUT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE OAK OR CHERRY. SUBJECT APPEARS TO BE WEARING SOME KIND OF HEAD ORNAMENT OR HAIR UP WITH LARGE FLOWER OR FEATHERS. PROFILE IS OF LEFT SIDE OF FACE, NECK AND SHOULERS .VERY UNIQUE. THIS PEICE APPEARS TO BE VERY OLD BUT IN GREAT CONDITION.
