<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 7302262, member: 76316&quot;]I think it <i>isn&#039;t</i> a cricket cage...&#039;tho a cricket could live in it, I suppose. I believe it is a pair of combs...for the hair that grows above the ears.</p><p>The most wonderful part of them is that they will fit together in maybe half a dozen ways, but there are at least 2 of those that allow a near perfect fit! There are 45 points on each (of course)...which divides evenly 8 times into 360 degrees. Whether the crafty carver used those indexes in his work is open to question...but there are so many indicators that testify to his/her profound skill and knowledge of the materials at their disposal...every time I hold it, take it apart &amp; reassemble it, I&#039;m awe-struck afresh...bewildered! it&#039;s ~2&quot; diameter, an&#039; ~2&quot; tall; weight is a bit over 19 grams.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have any of you seen the like? Can anyone say with a degree of certainty where it was made...and even better, when? If I were to offer a guess (an&#039; that&#039;s all it would be) it would be the Philippines.</p><p>As always, I&#039;m grateful for your attention, and your informed comments! Thanks for lookin&#039;!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]422332[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]422333[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]422334[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]422335[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]422336[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]422337[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]422338[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
