<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 3383296, member: 10944"]This looks like it was probably made in Kenya or somewhere close. The Kissi are a tribe or group in West Africa. Mostly Guinea and Sierra Leone. They traditionally carve stone but this is definitely not that. Who knows, maybe they carve stuff like this for tourists now though. Below are some pics of what their traditional stone carvings look like.[ATTACH=full]301209[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]301210[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]301211[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
