Mai bien sur, mon ami, zis is a Vitco, certainment. Someone once said: "If it ain't pretty, it's a Witco", so there you are. There also is the famous quote "What we have here, is a failure to .....depict a Ku god". Don't know who said that, but it stuck with me.

OK, Sven, translation please for that first line.. Thanks Sven, I think? :lol:

Not to be too redundant (but I was asked) as Sven said it is a Witco, obviously not carved from their regular swamp cedar (but cedar none the less) I think these came later on but don't quote me on that.
Nice find,

Bosko, I just had to ask the two top guys what they thought.. This is my first piece and I thought once or twice before I had a great find on something only to find out it was either a repro or a fake. But I love this one.. And what do they look like if they're made out of swamp cedar? :-?

Thanks again :D :D
