[QUOTE="Justin.K67, post: 9545087, member: 82761"]Hi all, I'm searching for a little more information on a wooden monkey statue. Here is what I guessed/know so far about it: -Species: Macaque -Size: 5"x5"x9" -Country of Origin: Somewhere in Asia. I'm guessing either China or Japan. Based on how the fur is carved, I'm leaning more towards China. Also the sculpture really reminds of Xing Xing, the one-arm monkey adopted by a Chinese Buddhist nun. -Age: Definitely has some patina. Guessing 20th century. -Wood: Some species of hardwood based on pores and weight. -Makers Mark: None -There is an aromatic smell to the wood. Not sure if it's natural or coming from an applied oil. Any help would be much appreciated! [ATTACH=full]454215[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]454216[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]454217[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]454218[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]454219[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
