<p>[QUOTE="poisson-rouge, post: 9540346, member: 27148"]Thanks. It is hand carved from a single piece of super light wood (I'm guessing jelutong). It does seem to be at least vintage, 1950s-1940s. The back has an handle carved from the same piece of wood. Will post a picture of the back tomorrow.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can you guys tell me what you all are seeing that speaks to tourist item? Is it the fact it's carved or on the smaller side? I get that it doesn't look like the picture [USER=301]@komokwa[/USER] posted but I've seen many similar ones. The ones I've come across that appeared to be obviously tourist items were flat or had very shallow carvings or effects to make them appear older than they are. Also not necessarily looking to make money off repatriating, though if it's of little value it wouldn't be worth the effort. Right now I don't even know where I'd get it appraised.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
