[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 2233327, member: 84"]I found this at a thrift store today. It cost $100 but when I googled 'life size carved African statue sculpture I saw ones with $799 asking price so I bought it. Now I could use some help telling me what I have! (1st photo was taken inside o you can see it next to a mannequin for idea how big this thing is!) What country is it from? How old is it? (it has a couple of very old looking slot screws in the base -see 2nd from last photo ) Is it a tribal piece or just décor to sell to tourists? (It would be difficult/expensive to check a 6' 8" statue on a plane, right? Any info or thoughts on it would be greatly appreciated (like was it a good deal?!)
