Carving from New Mexico

[gorgias]

I have no clue. Looks cool, but the fact that there's brown paint on it probably means it's construction garbage.

On further examination, though, pretty impressive.

Looks like some kind of indian artifact

How big is it?

 

[gorgias]

6" - 8" High

That might be an old find Interesting. The brown paint could have been put on by native American Indians

Very cool. yeah you would be surprised how long paint will last on items that old. I once found an indian pottery bowl sticking part way out of the ground along a fence line in the desert. It was intact, very old and amazingly was only cracked in a few places. But the paint on it was amazingly vivid still and a friend told me it dated back 500-1000 years.

Cool. I actually thought the small bricks in the carving made it look European.

But, I thought the pot on top made it look native.

is it a pot on top? if it is solid couldn't it be sort of a mortar and pestle. To the left of the guy...is he displaying his wares or instruments in a box? Or is that a window.
