The condition is kind of rough & the neck is broken at the bottom. It might of had a body once? I have no idea where this came from, so who knows. I truly hope it wasnt heinously pilfered from somewhwere, the guy I bought it from was sort of sketchy. I still havent done anything to it. I was going to paint it all black again to minimize the effect of the chipping & affix it to some kind of base. It would have to be a sturdy base, cause this piece is HEAVY! I really dig this design & it is clearly vintage. Does anyone have a clue as to the style/carver/age? Any info would be great!
