I suppose there is a reason why the fingers are squared off. Great representation - do you have any idea how old this is? Penny Street

Hi, thank you for your comments. What about the fingers ... these intrigue me as well ...

Lovely piece, nicely photographed too

Interesting talking piece Konstantin, such simple carvings but provocative.

The 5 fingers (?) also intrigue me ... or perhaps one is a disproportionate thumb?

Lydia - you got it ! :-) Basically this is up to 2 meters long chain of many small figures placed with offset to each other. All together - just a "harmless & innocent" primitive art wooden sculpture. But if you look into details, or better say, present this from unusual point of view ... then even the most "innocent" thing can become ... a bit provocative ...

Is that someone's midsection at his nose? Hmmm... *awkward silence*

Wonderful primitive art - and does he have five fingers and a thumb on that left hand?
