<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 4283358, member: 84&quot;]I found this last week at a local thrift store; I thought it was a hindu(?) India (?) figure praying but I can&#039;t remember any hindu men wearing a loin cloth like this - and when I googled Do hindu men wear loin cloths?&nbsp; It only showed pics of men with the cotton pants &amp; long cotton shirts; so any idea where this is from? It has what looks like AL or the initials A I so maybe I can find out who the artist is if well known if I can tell where it&#039;s from.</p><p>Also I love the curving form; it&#039;s what first caught my eye - what would I call this style (my first thought was surreal - so I know I need help because I&#039;m sure that&#039;s not right!)</p><p>It has a small rectangular piece of wood on the top of the head that&#039;s lighter in color - was this a repair?</p><p>Finally, he has ridges running down his back! Is this from the wood or is it something the artist added? And if so what does it mean?</p><p>Any thoughts on this carving would be greatly appreciated (is it a tourist piece? Is it well done?)</p><p>Thank you in advance!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Outdoor photos</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]343929[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]343930[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]343931[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]343932[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]343933[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]343934[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>INDOOR PHOTOS</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]343935[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]343936[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]343937[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]343938[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
