To Lancelink...the three leg dish is call Sedreniwaiwai, it is from Fiji and is used by Priest to put oil in for anointing. Pretty nice find Mr. Jones

Lancelink: since they have been making tourist carvings since the 1800's it's pretty safe that it's a newer model. If it was well worn from coconut oil being rubbed from it over the years, and if the wood was a little darker it might be worth a bit more. They have museum replicas and can be had at places like Jack's of Fiji. Which is a good distance from here, that's why finding a Priest Oil Dish in the "Wild" is kinda cool...like finding a steel penny...doesn't happen everyday. Then again collections of true relics get busted up from time to time and you be lucky....The Games AFoot !!!
