[QUOTE="KSW, post: 4222096, member: 8708"]Please can anyone tell me the story behind these weeping figures? I’ve seen a few but no explanation. Does this one likely have any age or is it a newer tourist piece? It’s not well carved but it fits beautifully ergonomically into your hand. I’m thinking he will stay with me as the equivalent of a kids fidget toy as it is very tactile. Im presuming olive wood- the wood is quite dry, any suggestions for conditioning it please? Thankyou :-) [ATTACH=full]335976[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]335978[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]335979[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]335980[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]335981[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]335983[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
