<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 5465162, member: 84&quot;]On my way home from thrift store hunting I stopped by a small old 2nd hand store run by an old African American gentleman. </p><p>I&#039;ve stopped by here before but it&#039;s been awhile - I think I&#039;m glad I did!</p><p>He told me he didn&#039;t have any new paintings but he did have a wood carving to show me. He got it off the top of a pile of records &amp; told me &quot;you don&#039;t know who this is&quot;.</p><p>Looking at it I told him he was right - I didn&#039;t. So he told me this was a carved image of an African princess Miriam McKeba. I didn&#039;t kno who that was but I thought the work was nice &amp; bought it for $20.</p><p>When I got home I googled African princess Miriam McKeba and found a lot about her (including she was a singer), but none of the photos I saw looked like my portrait.</p><p>Is this a carving of princess Miriam McKeba?</p><p>What is the face on the tip of her hat?</p><p>Thoughts on the carving?</p><p>Thanks you!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]415753[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]415754[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]415760[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
