<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 784350, member: 10944"]I picked this up at a really cool “upscale” thrift store a month or two ago. I’ve been trying to find one like it ever since without any luck. It stood out as being different and seemingly older than most of the wooden carvings (mainly from Africa) that I see that seem to be made for tourist trade. Not saying this one isn’t made for that purpose as I have no idea but it was different enough that I had to grab it. The origin is driving me nuts. I’m thinking pacific islands. Polynesia or PNG. Maybe Siam or Thailand? I really haven’t found anything even resembling it. I wanted to figure it out on my own but alas I need help. I won’t be surprised if one of y’all find it within minutes! It’s not signed or marked anywhere that I can tell. Unfortunately the ass crack is a real crack in the ass. Gotta be close to a foot tall.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Hindu maybe? </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i63.tinypic.com/sqioah.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i66.tinypic.com/zsrgcm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i68.tinypic.com/5ott15.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
