<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 368426, member: 55&quot;]I&#039;d say it is a wood figure made by a home woodcarver, not representing any particular historical figure.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I see a number of indications that it is wood, not resin, though one can&#039;t be 100% sure of either diagnosis from a photo.&nbsp; I see some indication of porosity in the cross-grain areas, and no indication of the cast-in fake woodgrain one often sees in resin pieces.</p><p>Western-themed carved wood figures in this size have been a popular project for home wood-carvers for years - my Dad has made several of them.&nbsp; This could easily be one of his. The surface appearance and color is identical to the finish Dad would use; a light stain, then a coat of varnish.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Often based on photos or articles in woodcarver&#039;s magazines, they could have Hispanic or black appearing features without necessarily having been made by black or Hispanic carvers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
