Description

I've tried to do some research on this piece online with no luck finding anything even remotely close. I inherited this piece from my grandmother years ago and was looking to find out what the value is as well as it's origin and maybe some history behind it. Aside from it needeing a good cleaning which I'm afraid to do, it is in very good condition, no damage or scratches except for the tip of the camel's left ear which was chipped and a couple accessories that are missing. I've searched the piece for markings of some kind but was unable to find anything. The item is very well crafted and was defintely carved by hand. At one point the rider had a lantern in one hand and holding the reigns in the other but the lantern and reigns had fallen off over the years prior to me getting it. He is also carrying a sword and has a pack and blanket on the back of the camel as well. Any help identifying and pricing this piece would be appreciated. Thanks
