    IMG_5188.jpeg IMG_5189.jpeg Hi all,I don’t really buy wood
    carved items. But this one I immediately liked and found very striking. Craved out of solid hardwood. To me it looks to have some real age and character (and not just a tourist market item) Stands about 30cm tall. I didn’t buy it (yet :)) What do you think of it? Thanks

    The name Meyosi , after a fast Google, comes up Turkish or from some form of Arabic. Would that make any sense? I'd love to know what was on the rest of the tag.

    Sorry,just ignore the tag. It’s just a reference code used in the consignment shop.
