<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 410848, member: 738"]Hello alll you well-informed folks. I am having a garage sale Sunday, trying to put a dent in the mountain of excess here. I found this in a friends' estate boxes and am wondering if this carving should go in the yard sale or on eBay. It stands 10"high by 4" wide, the base is 3.25" in diameter. The wood appears to be dark in nature, not just stained. No marks anywhere. It has some age to it, but the carving is not done by a "master" I would say. It does have a certain naive charm. I initially thought it was a female, but the chest is rather flat and the waist is not as slender as it might be for a stylized Hindu goddess. It is holding a bow and arrow I believe, and only two arms, so by process of elimination, I am guessing it is Ram. Thanks for any suggestions on price I should put on it.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]143066[/ATTACH] </p><p> [ATTACH=full]143063[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]143064[/ATTACH] l</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]143067[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
