<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 578162, member: 8267&quot;]Definitely African. I cannot be more specific, though. It might be from the Congo area, but it might also be from West Africa, which has a long tradition of ivory carving. It was not made for a traditional use, but for sale, and it is hard to find comparative souvenirs with good provenance. The style is rather simple. It might be helpful to determine if the elongated back of the head represents hair, or a woven hat. If a hat, I would lean more toward the Congo. As a guess on date, I would say 1960s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
