<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 340362, member: 37"]Picked up this odd wood thing from the thrift for a couple dollars. Had an import tag from India but that is all I know about it. It is 6" diameter and 4 1/4" tall. The top interior is hollowed out in a cone shape that has a sharpish wood protrusion in the center. This is surrounded by three holes that go off in angles such that they come out lined up on the bottom. These holes are tapered so that the diameter at the top is smaller than at the bottom. The side of this thing has three bow-tie shaped cut-outs. The inside of the end of the bow-tie is drilled horizontally through to the next bow-tie. Each is connected by a drill hole in this manner. It is decorated as seen. There is the shield shape carved in one side. The other side is just carved with an oval. Hope I have described this sufficiently. Any ideas? </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]114424[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114425[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114426[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114427[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114428[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
