Brought back from the Admiralty Islands during WWII this clay or earthen statue (smells of earth when wet) has these like round seeds in the eyes that role around.  The top of the head looks like a dove soap dish and is holding a small jug.  the ears are like two rings or large handles, with holes, and there is a handle in the back to hold.  heavy for its size, about 7 inches.  the front has a island god of some sort with feather head dress, and on the sides of what I call a soap dish is owl looking heads.  On the feet, they point out in the back for balancing up right, and there are lots of U's and O's shapes. The face is lots of wrinkles and teeth showing, smile, and large lips. A slight burnt red color is over edges and the rest is of dark dark, coffee color brown.  Again, when wet or dampend, can smell strong earth.

Please contact me at antiquist@aol.com if you may have an idea of what this is and the value if any. ty

Hi Antiquist,

Can you upload the item to iTaggit so we can get a better look at it? This will help us identify it and value it.
