    Is there any possibility there is a cultural or tribal origin to this carving, or more likely just a folk type piece. It stands 12 inches tall, and am guessing 40-50 years old. s-l1600 - 2022-05-15T170932.742.jpg s-l1600 - 2022-05-15T171919.924.jpg

    Same piece . . . I think the seller calling it Godzilla may be a stretch - looks very dinosaur like with reptile like scales, but who knows what the carver was thinking.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I also thought of Godzilla right away... but he never smiled like that.
