<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 75822, member: 37"]You have a very nice old coconut. Coconut carving goes back hundreds of years and were often done by seafarers as presents to bring home. Much of what you see come from the Carribbean regions, with later 19th Century ones being traced back to Mexican prisons. I believe yours to be late 18th century or early 19th century in origin. and not one of the more typically seen Mexican versions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
