Seems to be mostly pinned together with pins that look hand made and possibly repaired with pitch in places. The hinge is a primitive double pinned dowel arrangement so the doweling must have grooves in it to keep it in place. Almost looks like a sphinx caricature of somebody important who was regarded as a bit of a nut crusher. The head has pins around it so probably missing a hat / crown / religious headdress etc. I&#039;ll go out on a limb here and say 1750-1850 European origin.</p><p>Thoughts?</p><p>Data</p><p>12.5cm Long, 12cm High, 6.2cm Wide, 0.175Kg</p><p>Bowl OD 8.1cm, ID 4.4cm[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
