[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 230204, member: 2844"]The straight hair of the woman does not scream Africa at me. This is where I have to start guessing, based on some knowledge which I will share with you: It looks very much like a rice scoop. The erotic subject is something you see a lot in folk carving of rural East Java and rural Bali, so again Indonesia. These areas have an Animist-Hindu culture. So my guess is a rice scoop from the rural areas of East Java (i.e. Tenggerese mountains) or Bali. Possibly further east, but not from a strict Islamic area.[/QUOTE]
