[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4379730, member: 2844"]I think 1960s-ish. Not top, but what she(he) has going for her is a nice smile. That is always a difficult one with these light-coloured woods. Even collectors have to ask specialists in Indonesian wood species, and two woods that look the same could be different. A Balinese favourite is suar wood, but with that sheen, yours could be East Javanese teak. No guarantees though. The other day I came across a listing saying a Javanese teak carving was Balinese and oak.:rolleyes: Sure, because oak is such a tropical wood.:hilarious:[/QUOTE]
