Anyone know more about this Marquesan looking cup(?) It's sealed sandcast and has a blank/flat bottom. It's about 4" tall by 2.5 wide. At first I thought it was a votive holder, but the depression inside is pretty wide and goes 3/4 or more down, and is rounded on the bottom. He looks like he's holding a little "sun wheel" square in front there. Perhaps it's a larger "hobbyist" takeoff on the Marquesan bone toggles like those shown about halfway down this website: https://www.new-guinea-tribal-arts.com/marquesas-art-and-artifacts/ ??
