The Adu Zatua are kept on the sacred setting of the altar.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of these related pieces are carved in different styles, so I wonder if they are &#039;tribal&#039; souvenirs. In that case Indonesia is a good bet. If Indonesian, the materials are probably buffalo horn and bone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
