    I found this at a thrift store yesterday. I've never seen one like it & can't find another example.
    Has anyone ever seen this before?
    Thanks all

    Looks like if may have been a school project or otherwise "hand-crafted"..........so many compound angles, edge treatments and carving................

    Reminds me of Big Chief tablets, ca. 1960s.

    My guess is "Made in Mexico" or other South of the border tourist bring back.... that Indian looks very Aztec / Inca / Mayan
