[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 4311647, member: 301"]lightly damp soft cloth..... but my question was more concerned with the lack of build up in the cut lines and crevasses ...... that wood is hard to get but not impossible .....making the carving newer ....unless it was in a showcase for a long time..... it's a soft wood so chips to the ears and scuffs to the nose can and do happen in a move or with rough handling......as evidence of the loss of the base.... as opposed to speaking to it's age.... although.....signing the base.....and not the pole itself.......more of a pre 80's thing... ( with exceptions of course !!).......
