    The overall quality of the decorative portrait carvings from the Philippines & Bali is uniformly very good.For what it is,it's cheap-least on Ebay.These sculpting 'families' must work fast.
    Look at their work on the handles of the old Kris and the Balinese masks & demons-so much of the stuff seems absurdly cheap.
