[QUOTE="BoudiccaJones, post: 4514356, member: 5592"][CENTER][SIZE=5][COLOR=#b30059]I bought this lovely fellow yesterday, despite all his flaws & dings he spoke to me LOUDLY ( saying **BUY ME I KNOW YOU HAVE ROOM FOR ME TAKE ME HOMEEEEE**) ( ofc I have no power to resist) He was a pound and I really love him. He sits sort of sideways. I wasn't going to post these pics here, was just to show my FB friends but thought I'd show my friends here too. (So the pics are even more below par than norm. Can take more if required xx) He really,really speaks to me. I did a google image search and I saw some similar described as Shona sculpture from Zimbabwe. I don't trust my own judgement though. He is H E A V Y. About 11 inches down ( 29 cms). The base is teeny, as he sits sort of skew-whiff, it's two inches (5cms) [IMG]https://scontent.fbrs1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/295627676_10160471362194283_3100473610753240834_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=opxgHso6DTkAX8OAcLe&_nc_ht=scontent.fbrs1-2.fna&oh=00_AT_GhNyKXBdeyA_UFn0gWZHEW90UztjD_0Ek3_-YQiPXYQ&oe=62E169EC[/IMG] [IMG]https://scontent.fbrs1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/295757108_10160471341459283_5217736774336090007_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=M98lfPKNFYQAX8tqRMp&_nc_ht=scontent.fbrs1-2.fna&oh=00_AT-KA-ILUMhIgP_xHGg5ta8bNvx5pCiVUBldKlhlfbpU9g&oe=62E2E6FF[/IMG] [IMG]https://scontent.fbrs1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/295623612_10160471341614283_8283159454497011869_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=cadW2C_RsRAAX8RetEI&_nc_ht=scontent.fbrs1-2.fna&oh=00_AT-L2b1VKBNPgLn3rgCM2GIUCBz1sloU8ELPisE7Tb1bRA&oe=62E1411F[/IMG] [IMG]https://scontent.fbrs1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/295659146_10160471341489283_4944237272497086722_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=vMBPdo_Dgw4AX9hjtVJ&tn=FVvhJSn03v2MSH8w&_nc_ht=scontent.fbrs1-1.fna&oh=00_AT9B_UHeKkKVI0Lv33zCwhAYzdaXRXpNLK_JXVd_1j8YyQ&oe=62E2A9CB[/IMG] As you can see, he's had a hard life.
