    Approximately 5 inches wide by 3 inches height.
    The pictures are bigger than it is in real life.

    Am ignorant in gordology, but I'm guessing it is post-WWII and likely late 20th C. Am basing this opinion on appearance of the uncarved surface as well as the style of faces on the 4-legged creatures. The faces seem much more like those in animated cartoons or modern kids' books than S.A. Folk art. Is "disneyesque" a real word?

    Cute souvenir piece; I'm not seeing any particular age on it either.

    We have a lot of Peruvians around here, Whovians too but that's another minority, so these sorts of bits turn up regularly.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I have one somewhat like this that was new in the late 1980s.
