[QUOTE="bosko69, post: 13140345, member: 16283"]I'm guessing that pricing Ethnic Art has a lot to do with age,authenticated provenance, and rarely-artist's signature. With these classical objects, be it a Buddha or a neckrest -dating them can be a real challenge because as AJ mentioned before the forms have been unchanged for centuries. PS-Yep, Boland being in Africa, would find a lot of freshly sculpted indigenous headrests. Some headrests are 'airport art' tourist pieces,some beautifully-crafted art. Same in the Pacific Northwest-lots of NA PNW carving and much of it 'tourist grade'.[/QUOTE]
