[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4340616, member: 2844"]I agree it looks like an Adu Zatua or ancestor figure, from Nias, Indonesia, with the high crown of the aristocracy. There are regional differences in styles, but I don't know of rattles shaped like an Adu Zatua. Adu Zatua were traditionally tied to an altar for ancestor worship, but many have been made as souvenirs in the 20th and 21st centuries. Could we see a side and back view?[/QUOTE]
