I would appreciate any help or direction you can offer me. Thank you very much.

    I'd be worried what those three worriers get up to with those bows and swords. Depression and weapons don't mix.:(

    Thank you for the replies....It looks very similar to the mystery alabaster object in design. I will do further research...there are a few antique dealers on line, specializing in Asian artifacts. Is this worth pursuing or an email to the Afghanistan museum? Thanks!
