<p>[QUOTE="Jim Goodykoontz, post: 9605775, member: 82566"]hi everyone. i just found this yesterday. i think it's amazing. it's very asymmetrical and rich looking with all of the varied elements. it also has a finely carved feel to it with the walls being quite thin. i'm trying to figure out what the origin of this piece is. it looks like something from the arts and crafts period with the little frog and the crab. my personal guess is Japanese or Chinese, but i can't be certain. also, any ideas as to the type of wood used would be great too. it's completely unmarked. as you might notice in the pics, there are a couple of spots of minor damage. they could be made to look less noticeable but i wouldn't do anything to it myself. i hope this is a good forum category to list this under, any help will be greatly appreciated...thanks</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]466810[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]466812[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]466813[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]466814[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]466815[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]466816[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]466817[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]466818[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
