[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 292920, member: 2844"]Neither of them are from Bali. Balinese styles are different. She is a Thai lady in a welcoming pose. She could have been made to stand by a door to welcome guests. The wood is probably teak, the wood of choice in Thailand. The dragon piece is mainland southeast Asia, I don't know where exactly. It was made from separately crafted pieces. The teeth, tongue, scales seem to have been made separately, the head itself is basketry, as komo said, the eyes are glass. The base also looks woven, like basketry.[/QUOTE]
