<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 342588, member: 55&quot;]I&#039;m just thinking of the carvings I see in import shops featuring items with &quot;Made in Bali&quot; stickers, and the blurbs on similar web sites; so not saying there is a connection to real Balinese mythological creatures.&nbsp;&nbsp; More to the level of carvings one finds in the import shops.....flying frogs are quite common, for example.&nbsp; Those dealers or their customers seem to like winged pigs, winged cats, winged elephants.....</p><p>and as with many contemporary imports from Bali, the carvers are heavily influenced by carvings from other cultures; really, whatever sells.&nbsp;&nbsp; (Tall skinny Santas are not traditional Balinese figures either, yet the import shops are full of them.....)</p><p>So I&#039;m just speculating that winged goats might possibly be from around there also.&nbsp;&nbsp; But other ideas are welcome, I&#039;m sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]115472[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
