    Hi all,
    I was hoping to get some information on this little 8" tall container and what the carvings are of. Strange bird, and the human looking creature? There is also two lizards. and the turtle on top. I searched and read two previous threads on this topic but this one has much more intricate carvings, so I had to show it.

    Yes, it is from Lombok, and a herbal medicine or lime container. Lime is mixed with betel, to chew like chew tobacco.
