<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 359607, member: 45&quot;]I was just looking at the designs on the sides, which looks more like those you see in Timor art.&nbsp; True, the carved finial looks like those figures you see on some Lombok baskets. </p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t checked any web sites (which I don&#039;t place a lot of faith in, generally,)I was just basing it on my rather limited experience with Indonesian art, and the fact that I have a small collection of lime containers myself. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d agree that this is fairly recent, and made primarily for the tourist market.&nbsp; It&#039;s one of the more popular types of souvenirs from Indonesia, found in gift shops all over that part of the world.&nbsp; Which may explain why there are different claims as to where it is from.&nbsp; Where it was purchased may not have anything to do with where it was made.&nbsp; And where it was made may not be where the design itself originated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
