Subject:Now with photos! Creepy ebony carving bone teeth & glass eyes
Posted By: Jonathan Thu, Mar 31, 2016 IP: 82.132.217.49
I brought this a while back because it's so unusual and never been able to find out much, so thought I'd ask some experts.

My gut tells me it's an Asian carving of a black man? Any info on origin, age would be a real help.

Thank you, I think you may be right, I took the photo to an African art dealer, and he said he had never seen anything like it!!!
Certainly rare but that maybe cause it's home made.
Any gut feel in age & value?
