[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 1690868, member: 84"]I found this today at a local thrift store - it looks and … "feels" old, but I've never seen a piece with the slab(?) bottom; they are always sculpted in the shape of the legs - without the base. What is the animal called (it's not a regular dog, right?)? What tribe/area is it from? How old is it? (it looks like someone went to the trouble of repairing/replacing a broken ear & there is a crack on the bottom (doesn't go all the way through the piece) that someone put glue or something to try to repair/stabilize it - would they do that for a new/cheap decoration, right?) Finally (asked with trepidation!) - it's not just a tourist piece, is it? It measures 12" L x 7" W x 9" H Anything else about it would be greatly appreciated. As always, thank you for your help!
