<p>[QUOTE="Lark, post: 4606766, member: 13605"]I inherited a lot of stuff my parents picked up while in Indonesia. My parents usually only bought antiques. However when they left my father's employees snuck in many many many items into their shipment that were not antiques. I was going to list these two wooden figurines but want a little information and wanted to check they were not of great value. They look to me like they are made to look old with the white in the crevices. I assume they are Buddhist monks . I am also assuming they are wood . There is a hole in the one elbow and it looks like wood,[ATTACH=full]409547[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]409548[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]409549[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]409550[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]409551[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]409552[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]409553[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]409554[/ATTACH] They are so light weight it makes me wonder. The "tail" of their robes are nailed on to the main body. I can see the round headed nails under the paint/ lacquer. 6" tall. i see so many versions on line. Only one like mine but on 1st dibs so i discount that one. I wish i had asked my parents more while I still could.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
