      I hope I have it incorrect category

      The monkey has his head looking to the side and is holding a human head in outstretched arms
    3. ATTWOOD ATTWOOD, 9 years ago
      Whilst I was told pacific region I am leaning towards Malaysia.The monkey body has wings and the tail of what appears to be a crocodile.I thought a mythalogical creature but why is he holding a head?

      Still no idea where or who this guy is!
    6. ATTWOOD ATTWOOD, 8 years ago
      We have returned from Papua new Guinea and found this guy in a smaller version on Doini Island, unfortunately he only spoke pidgeon English and when we asked what was the animal with wings his reply yes.Smaller....oh well at least origin is now known.
      The wood carvers of PNG are equisite craftsmen.Hubby bought a crocodile home with us.About 3 feet long.
      Took the man 3 months to make.so detailed in every way
