Unusual Large Tribal FigureThis piece is extraordinary! Made of metal (not iron) and calcified with age Size: 17½ H x 10¾ W x 2 D Weight: 18 lbs. Condition: Very good The face is leaf or heart shaped. If you look closely the arms can resemble stylized birds. The body is incised with geometric lines. The back is smooth but also calcified. I have seen this only once before. It was advertised from China. They claimed it was a tomb figure for an official. I have no clue as to who made it, the age, or area. This one was found in Canada. The person I acquired it from had no knowledge of its origin or purpose. Shipping in the US is estimated to be around $40.00, depending on zip code area.

Old Mythological Female Figure
Possibly Asian IndianThis very unusual and interesting wooden figure is articulated. There are pegs to hold her arms and legs. The top of the head is shaped as a gourd? cap and stem and the back has a metal piece of hardware for hanging.
Size: 38 Inches L x 12 Inches W x 8 Inches D
Condition: Solid with wear from age and possibly the elements. Evidence of old insect depredation, now stabilized. There are several minor age cracks & there are blemishes. Also there is a hole through the side of her body under her arms through to the other side the size of 1 Inch across. Possibly for a rod to hang her on? The figure needs to be handled with care as she is in solid condition - but fragile.
Weight: 4 lbs.Found in Florida at an Estate Sale.
Shipping and insurance for this item is included in the price. This will include professional packing by UPS as she is delicate and needs extra special handling.
This item was very difficult to photo and is as sharp & clear as I could get it.

I acquired this figure on the East Coast. It has the feeling of Native American or Tribal Art. Very nice presence.

Asian Indian Elephant Metal/Wood Decorative Pipe
Size: 12-1/2
Inches H x 3-1/2 Inches W
Condition: Pipe bowl: Very Good, Stem: Also Very
Good - I do not think the stem was made for the bowl. It fits if pushed
in - but not well. I am including this as I acquired it with the bowl.The
bowl is a very nicely made elephant, which I believe is made of tin. There
are small what I believe are earrings dangling from his ears & another one
from the end of his raised trunk. The opening is on his head with a metal
hook that hooks to a knob on the back of the head.In my opinion, this is
made for decoration. I do not think it would make a good pipe for
smoking. A very unusual and attractive piece for display. Nice patina
