<p>[QUOTE=&quot;15Stiftgasse, post: 3994516, member: 12382&quot;]I&#039;ve recently come across this very unusual antler(?) carving and would be grateful if anyone were to be able to offer any help as to it&#039;s age and likely purpose.</p><p><br /></p><p>The item measures approximately 6cm x 3cm and appears to depict the face of either a chimpanzee(?) or monkey. There are two holes drilled through, which I assume may have been used to hold the item in position during carving (?) or perhaps have been used to attach the item to something else. </p><p>It appears to have some age, and does not appear to be your usual tourist trinket.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated !!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]325219[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]325220[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]325221[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
