Although i have to say i'm not a huge fan of them, i picked up this coconut monkey from the thrift store the other day. I was looking for something else in particular and this caught my eye and is it was only $5 i couldn't leave it there. It's actually a money box. In that little area of coconut that is exposed just above it's feet and below it's hands there is a slot for coins.

Something else i came across at an antique store was this Sepik River? item which i didn't buy. It was only $60 or $65AUS dollars (around $55-60US), which i don't know if that is what you guys would consider as a reasonable price for what it is but to me here in Aus. it seemed fair but unfortunately it wasn't in the best condition.
It definitely looked old but there were several areas where it was damaged either from it being broken or what looked like insect activity, or both. From memory it also was male on one side and female on the other.
