    This is the final piece I bought from my friend today at a local thrift store - I think the nose/arrow reminds me of a Northwest Indian totem pole figure?
    Any idea what it is?
    Again, thank you guys - it was a good day of thrifting when I find 3 cool/unusual pieces that I need your help with! :)

    So that makes 2 items we've seen before, both from LoveThatHunt, who was asking for assistance with a consignor's things. Does anyone know where she is geographically? Florida, perhaps?

    I guess this is a case of "small world."

    As soon as I saw crocolizard, I thought Polynesia or Papua New Guinea maybe.
    Borderline touristware though, I fear.

    lovethehunt is a man after my own heart - likes the old & unusual like I do!
    It is funny the circle it made from him to Constantine (another treasure hunter at a local thrift store I search every day) to me!
