She usually came together with a "Melanesian Male", and mostly on a floral background. In 1964 she cost 50.- bucks. Not the best carving (Witcos were carved conveyerbelt style on marked wood, but each differed slightly depending on how the employee waved the chainsaw), that un-round bump on her chest is supposed to be her breast, but I like her face. I would buy her if for sale. Dude! Youre the man! Thanks for the mug info too... Knowledgeable man you are and thanks! Buzzy
