    Hello everyone,

    As you pull on the (frog's?) head, a slithering surprise pops out as a small storage compartment is revealed. I'm thinking vintage India. Does anyone recognize it? Thanks!

    The style reminds me of some Kenya soapstone but don't know.

    It does look like it is made of kisii stone, a type of soapstone found in the Kisii region of southwestern Kenya.
