[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4276366, member: 84"]I found this today at a thrift store - my first thought was Eskimo? (until I looked at it from a different angle (2nd photo) then it looked like one of the teenage mutant ninja turtles with sun/eye glasses! (stop laughing - look at it)) Any idea who carved this or what area it is from? Any idea what the stone is? (there looks like small bits of glass here & there in the stone when it's turned against the light) Any way to tell if it's old? It is 13" high Any help would be greatly appreciated! PS - I tried Magic Eraser and nail polish remover but neither did a thing to remove the sharpie price on the bottom (it was the price; I tried to change it so you couldn't tell since I couldn't remove it) [ATTACH=full]341787[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341788[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341790[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341791[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341792[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341793[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341795[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
