    When I search OPua I come up with New Zealand but no figurines like this, maybe looking in the wrong direction? Thanks as always for any help!

    I'm inclined to BEY since the last letter, unlike the first 2, would have to be lower case to be an R, although certainly not impossible that it it is.

    The only monkey holding a cup I see is Baule, but maybe a wild goose chase.

    The wood looks like ebony so more than likely African and maybe a person's name?

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    And what about the black painted letters above OPUA?

    (I have no idea, just wanted to point out that they are there.)
