[QUOTE="Donna H, post: 359429, member: 7509"]I grew up with this piece. I now am thinking of selling it. However I cant find anything like it to get me to a price. This piece is from the Philippines. Purchased by my Mother in the late 50s It is 2 pieces the bottom measures 12ft x 2 ft. & the top 10 ft. x 2 ft. The bottom is made teak with inlays of mahogany with brass support. The top is teak with brass shield rounds & squares inlayed with Capiz shells The squats open to store or hold items. I was told all were made to represent the Philippian's. Teak & mahogany is indigenous there. The inlays are representative of the hill tribe type motif art. Brass is also in the Philippines & used to make metal items. The brass in this is carved to represent a shield much like the ingot headhunters used. And of course the Capiz shell is a known item used in Pilipino art.
