<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 156446, member: 111&quot;]I think this piece has some honest age to it, do not believe that wire D-ring is original, it looks wrong and would be awkward in use as well as in hanging, would also expect some discoloration, smoothing of the rim of the hole from the wire moving back and forth - the hole just looks a bit fresh to my eyes...</p><p><br /></p><p>Would guess a dipper or perhaps a small cup, could be Scandinavian, the decoration is sort of similar to some, but that head would really be atypical - believe it could easily be a folk art carving from a variety of places.&nbsp; All that said, have little time to poke around, but the links below show a dipper and small drinking bowl from Norway, somewhat similar in size:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://digitaltmuseum.no/011023143342?page=3&amp;query=ause&amp;classification=272.5&amp;advanced_search=1&amp;pos=61" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://digitaltmuseum.no/011023143342?page=3&amp;query=ause&amp;classification=272.5&amp;advanced_search=1&amp;pos=61" rel="nofollow">http://digitaltmuseum.no/011023143342?page=3&amp;query=ause&amp;classification=272.5&amp;advanced_search=1&amp;pos=61</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://digitaltmuseum.no/011023222465?page=12&amp;query=tre%20alkohol&amp;classification=272.5&amp;advanced_search=1&amp;pos=271" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://digitaltmuseum.no/011023222465?page=12&amp;query=tre%20alkohol&amp;classification=272.5&amp;advanced_search=1&amp;pos=271" rel="nofollow">http://digitaltmuseum.no/011023222465?page=12&amp;query=tre alkohol&amp;classification=272.5&amp;advanced_search=1&amp;pos=271</a></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
