    Asian civilization is a broad concept, is it Cambodian?

    Then yours is too, as I thought. Those Cambodian Nagas are very recognizable, but best to be sure.
    It is not a tourist item, probably a collector who took it with him/her. Maybe they passed away and no one in Arkansas knew what it was or where it was from. Until someone from the Netherlands recognized that funny Naga head and got the ball rolling.;) It is a small world.
