[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 4251165, member: 22"]I got this item yesterday from a local clearance. There were several items of African tribal art, Elephants foot ,stools, Blackamoors, etc but the relatives took them. This was left behind. The deceased lived and worked in Kenya from the mid 50's until the early 80's so just about everything in the house had African influence. I believe it is chalkware, no marks anywhere, very heavy. It has the same colouring and texture of Blackamoores I've seen in the past but smaller. The basket had cash in, which was a bonus.:hilarious: I've lightly cleaned it but it is still quite dirty. I've lightened one pic.
