Message:: [QUOTE="chucktell, post: 147432, member: 2162"]Johnny and others,I'm also curious why I can't find much else like it online. It seems like there are a lot of intricate "tree of life" carvings, and lots of primitive-looking pieces, but nothing quite like this. You'd think there'd be a lot of them. Especially if it's a contemporary tourist piece. Thanks. The closest I've found (and maybe the only thing) is the following: <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/19-VINTAGE-OLD-MAN-WOOD-CARVED-FACES-FOLK-ART-SCULPTURE/231932900346?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D36143%26meid%3D474e734b8be54a298d0e21edbae278bc%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D331457313879" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/19-VINTAGE-OLD-MAN-WOOD-CARVED-FACES-FOLK-ART-SCULPTURE/231932900346?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D36143%26meid%3D474e734b8be54a298d0e21edbae278bc%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D331457313879" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/19-VINTAGE-OLD-MAN-WOOD-CARVED-FACES-FOLK-ART-SCULPTURE/231932900346?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid=222007&algo=SIC.MBE&ao=1&asc=36143&meid=474e734b8be54a298d0e21edbae278bc&pid=100011&rk=1&rkt=10&sd=331457313879</a>But it doesn't seem African, and somebody told me they didn't think the same person carved it.[/QUOTE]
