African Log Sculpture?

Greetings! Any thoughts on this guy? Found outside at an estate sale decades ago and have no info. It was aged when I found it. Just re-discovered it cleaning out the garage.

Guessing African but no idea if that's true and no idea what it was used for.

All thoughts appreciated. It's a solid log 18" high with a 5.5 diameter

 

Having trouble w photobucket. Which link do I use? Apologies. New Ipad and working much differently than my old PC. Finally got pics into PB but now I don't know which link...

 

Please let me know which PB link to use guys and apologies.

Here'[s a link for you......read it !

 

Dang guys. Way too complicated for me. Is there a way to post them directly from pictures on my iPad? Sorry but I'm so not technical but never had problems before. Guess I'm done with PB-of sure not paying...

 

I see the pic icon but it wants a URL and I don't know how to get that out of my pictures on iPad. Ready to give up.

 

Did you read my private CONVERSATION message of help?

I know nothing of Eye Pads for my eyes are not injured.

 

Then try just one as test.

 

I'm trying guys. Just did an internet search and downloaded imoreforums. Let me try. Sorry to be driving everyone nuts.

 

Hey AJ! Can't find my photo load pic for???? Him? Her?
Would you post it please?

 

You're not cause it's not easy at first but I'm going offline now. You'll get more help. Hang in there ok???

 

That'll teach you to buy a new Ipad !!!

Or not !!

 

I'm beyond frustrated-never had a prob b4... guess I'll have to wait for someone to show me how to post from an ipad

 

1. get a post card
2. affix stamp to said post card
3. write short note to Apple extolling the virtue of your I pad
4. place post card in post box
5. toss Ipad in nearest calm cool deep body of water !

 

that doesn't look African...

 

OK!!!
Now go back to EDIT and use the FULL IMAGE button!

 

OMG LOL. Thanks for all your time. Searched the internet and found that they wouldn't load because they were too big and the only way to resize them is to mail them to myself and then resave them and pick full size or thumbnail. Guess I'll just close my PB account. I think I do like my new iPad-just have to keep figuring out how to do stuff.

So what the heck did I buy years ago? It's heavy as heck, solid and definitely at least 30 years old.

Sorry I was such a pain...
