[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9605135, member: 2844"]The wood looks like ebony. I wonder if this is an early Makonde carving, but I'll tag [USER=8267]@2manybooks[/USER] for you, she'll know.:) The symbol is probably a carver's mark. It looks like two giraffes with crossed necks. A fish or urn at the top? And 61, which could be the date.[/QUOTE]
