<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 4603635, member: 84&quot;]I found this today (along with a Big 6ft painting by Haitian artist Wilfred Daleus - that I sold to another picker outside in the parking lot 20 min later for double what I paid!) at a friend&#039;s thrift store.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think it&#039;s ivory or bone because I can&#039;t see either the tic tac toe lines of ivory or the straight lines of bone, and when my friend told me he wanted $100 for it otherwise he was going to put it on the display case for $250, I declined at first.</p><p><br /></p><p>But googling the image I saw some that were called &#039;stone&#039;, and since it was an unusual subject + the signature inserted the bottom center on what looked like a tiny tile intrigued me (a image search on it turned up nothing - but I could have it upside down &amp; not know it!) and I decided to gamble - I bought it for $107 (including tax)</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone tell me about it - is it stone or is it resin? Could it be bone? </p><p>What is with the lady&#039;s face on his thigh and in photo #5 what looks like a oval/tear drop shape that looks like it&#039;s showing inside his leg or something equally strange behind the lady&#039;s face/under his sleeve?</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone tell me who the artist is by the signed insert in center on bottom?</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated - I don&#039;t think I hit a home run but am hoping I got a base hit at least!? </p><p><br /></p><p>The piece measures 12&quot; tall x 4&quot; wide at base</p><p><br /></p><p>PS - Photos taken with my cell phone, then emailed to myself so I can resize them on computer to post here - my computer&#039;s photo app is on &amp; off; sorry if any photo not clear/good</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for any help/info/thoughts! (like - is signature right side up?)</p><p>Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]409269[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]409270[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]409271[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]409272[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]409273[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]409274[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]409275[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]409276[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]409277[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
