I do believe this is highly unlikely. So you are telling us that while the board that surrounds it is wood, the part that looks like carved...
Have you ever seen anything, no matter how old, in a museum display that was covered in dust like this? It matters how it is cleaned. It also...
I'm just getting started; there is so much more to go. I have very little hope of ever getting to the bottom of who made these, but I may be able...
