Saw this in my local Goodwill. Thought about picking it up, but they're asking 10 bucks for it....a bit more than I like to throw away on a "maybe". Looks to be a male figure with some kind of headdress. There is what looks to be a hibiscus flower above the right ear. Any thoughts? No markings on it. thanks, |

I don't think it's from Bali, but is a Filipino mahogany carving and what looks like a flower is a tobacco pipe run through the hair. aloha |

I see those for sale out here all the time. Maybe 1-2 sets for sale a week at the swap meet, all of differing quality and details. Real cheap too...They usually come in pairs, male and female. They all seem to be of Philipines origin. I'm sure the Bali dudes are making those too. Buzzy Out! [ Edited by: Bay Park Buzzy 2014-08-25 21:00 ] |

I think Bali and the Philippines are both correct. You can do an eBay search for Bali bust and Philippines bust and the same carving comes up. |
