Need help with wood carved stool

Send it to me. I'll pay for shipping.
I can't trust myself to say anything acceptable about your intent to burn it.

 

With ethnographic art it can make all the difference.

 

42 comes from what appears when clicking on your avatar... So it must be YOUR age (when you joined Antiquers and filled your infos) The stool doesn't deserve to be burnt if it MAY be 42
You may understand most of us will CRINGE when hearing your saying "going to the burn pile"

 

In the BEST way! As African ceremonial masks which "have danced" versus touristic or export pieces

 

Tried to lighten it a bit.......I think more decoration than initially visible!!

 

@kyratango i know lol I’m not a rookie I have been at this antiques thing awhile........I believe much older than 42

 

Aaahhh So you have to heat your old bones

 

@kyratango lol for sure

 

Obviously not long enough.
Please send the stool to 2manybooks, at least she has the love and the knowledge to appreciate ethnic art.

 

I have already muttered it to myself in several languages, believe me.

 

Looks like that furniture they were selling not too long ago here in Mobile and it was made in the islands or the orient somewhere.

 

@Barbara W. Preston Another one telling me it’s new into the burn pile it goes lol

 

I remember the term Crim when watching Prisoner Cell Block H.

 

@Houseful lmao

 

I thought something similar.

 

Fact check 1st !!
Have you ever been to 'Bama......

@Barbara W. Preston ...... please show us what u are referring to.....before Crim strikes a match !!!!!

 

@komokwa the fire goes down tonight lol

 

too nice a stool to burn...........................

 

I just read that the 10,000 or so Trobriand Islanders have been selling their heirlooms to pay for simple commodities. They can't earn money in your imaginary factories, because there are none in the Trobriand Islands, obviously.
Now you insult them by burning their heritage, in spite of the fact that someone has already offered to pay for shipping.
If you don't appreciate it, you could have sold it and donated the money to a Trobriand Island education fund or something. But destruction it has to be.

Why did you ask about the stool if you didn't want to listen to those who know?
Komo, 2many, and I are known to have knowledge of ethnic art, and we say this is a good piece. But you'd rather believe some unproven story that this stool could have been made in 'the islands or the orient somewhere'. Is it because you had already made up your mind to burn another people's cultural legacy?
I wonder what someone who has no respect for culture and genuine items is even doing here.
