    Hi folks

    something i found in oxfam today for a coupla quid

    kinda reminded me of the large bali figure i found recently

    the details around the face look naturally worn to me

    only 6 inches this one

    hopefully @Any Jewelry

    wouldn't mind taking a look for me

    not so sure about this one, but i do like it

    any thoughts or info appreciated

    Your carving depicts a Maasai warrior, probably by a carver in Kenya or elsewhere in east Africa.
