    This is an odd little piece i found today at Urban Ore in Berkeley. it stands about 5" tall. no signature. i think it's a candleholder, maybe? what do you think? it's pretty cool!

      thanks Tassie! i hope i can find something about this. i also think that this is an African American piece.

      thank you jscotto! i'm not sure i get that reference, but i'll look into it. i think this is a really cool piece - an amazing piece of folk art. but i hope i can find out more about it. it may be symbolizing a pimp and a lady of the evening.
